    Is anyone on the forum aware of genetics work being done on Japanese maples?
    Are there PhD's in botany/plant physiology working in academia doing serous work
    on Japanese maples?
    I understand the big money is in cash crops not maples so perhaps academia leaves maple research to nurserymen/collectors/hobbyists where genetics is seen in plant
    expression rather than research.
    Any thoughts?
