Inducing cristate growth
Re: Inducing cristate growth
If it were the work of a virus or MLO I would expect people to have directly observed this by now. I'm leaning more towards signaling defects during early cell differentiation, I.e. misallocation of key proteins that cause abnormal development. The same is seen during early mammalian development, leading to many genetic disorders and mutations.

Roy Mottram, UK, made this remark to me in an email:-
"Fasciation in cacti is said to be due to mycoplasmas, which are primitive bacteria not viruses."
