Citation[edit]

awesome page, but it needs citations or external links Eupedia 00:57, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wait before you kill the diagram, I'll make a new diagram. Adenosine | Talk 07:45, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

New picture's up, hope you like it! I could use some help on the caption. Adenosine | Talk 08:17, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Errors in diagram[edit]

Although the diagram is visually appealling, unfortunately it is incorrect and inconsistent with regard to the number of chromosomes represented associated with each haploid genome. I wonder if this could be edited correctly by the original author/illustrator ? Kinggj 11:52, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Who wrote this[edit]

Two questions: Was the guy's surname *really* "U"? Also, is this theory widely accepted, a fringe theory, etc? It should state whether the theory has any level of acceptance or not...Stevage 15:17, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Might not be a "guy". Here's another article to the same reference Genome Research article reference note so I guess it's cited consistently, if not peculiarly. EncMstr 00:30, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I did a double-take until I remembered former United Nations Secretary General U Thant - Astatine 19:33, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The person was Professor U: he was a Korean who worked in Japan and was influenced by Kihara's hexaploid/bread wheat genome evolution results also obtained in the 1930s - I have a Japanese biography of U with photographs. In view of the first comment above I have updated the article to make it clear that the relationships of these genomes in the amphipolyploids is well accepted; I did not include anything about the data which suggests higher levels of ploidy.

The person is Woo Jang-choon. "Woo was hired into Japan's Ministry of Agriculture's examination room. In order to further his social life, his mother trained him into getting tolerant of alcohol, and Woo readily invited his friends over. By the age of 23, he had researched on morning glory flowers, and written a paper on it."

Guess what morning glory flower is? The brassica plant.

Unless I'm very much mistaken, this is wrong. Morning Glory as a common name generally refers to plants of the genus Ipomoea or, sometimes, Convolvulus. JeremyCherfas (talk) 08:45, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"우장춘 박사의 이와 같은 종의 합성은 '우장춘의 트라이앵글(U's Triangle)'로 불리며 유전학의 역사에서 한 획을 그은 것으로 인정받는다."

U's Triangle right there. (Wikimachine 22:38, 2 July 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Someone know where an article on Kihara is? I've looked all over the place, but there doesn't seem to be an article on him, even though several pages mention him (Watermelon, Polysaccharide-K).RSido 04:31, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Who is Kihara? (Wikimachine 02:31, 23 February 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Hitoshi Kihara, really important geneticist, especially of wheat. I was astonished to discover no Wikipedia page on him, but am not expert enough to create one. See http://www.springerlink.com/content/r237n4630576h675/ for an obituary. JeremyCherfas (talk) 08:42, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Correct Format of Citation[edit]

Take a look at Jang Yeongsil article, or any featured article.

Every page is cited. Every new claim is cited.

This article does not. I think the one who wrote this could add some work on citing from which pages those claims come from.

The format is <ref>references<ref/> (Wikimachine 22:45, 2 July 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Morinaga was first[edit]

See [1] and [2] --Espoo (talk) 16:25, 19 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Unfortunately"?[edit]

I don't get the meaning of this sentence: "Unfortunately inbreeding within the species does not produce genomes that are resistant to unregulated contamination."

Is inbreeding unfortunate? (to whom) What "unregulated contamination" means? (contamination of the DNA)?
