OK, shouldn't it be Kilo millions (10³ millions)? Mega Millions would be 10⁶ millions, or a trillion. False advertising!

A couple of years ago I talked to a researcher at UMass Boston. He was looking for mutants in Arabidopsis that grew from seeds that had been irradiated with neutrons. He relied on self-fertilization to isolate mutants in the F1 generation. The big challenge was to get a feel for the organism, and to identify mutant phenotypes. It sounded like an excellent project. Have you been considering distributing mutagenized seeds of your fast plants, and do your plants self- fertilize?
