other uses2 Plant Refimprove date April 2007 Image Plantcover.jpg thumb The Plant. The Plant is an unfinished serial novel published in 2000 as an e book by United States American author Stephen King . The novel is about the editor in a paperback publishing house, who gets a manuscript from what seems like a crackpot. The manuscript is about magic, but it also contains photographs that seem very real. He writes the author a rejection slip, but because of the photographs, he also notifies the police where the author lives. This enrages the author, who sends a mysterious plant to the editor s office. The story is told in Epistolary novel epistolary format , consisting entirely of letters, memos, and so on. History King wrote a few parts of a story by the same name, and sent them out as chapbook s to his friends, instead of Christmas card s, in 1982, 1983, and 1985. Only three installments were produced by Stephen King Philtrum Press Philtrum Press before the story was shelved, and the original editions are hotly sought after collector s items today. In 2000, King published the novella Riding the Bullet over the internet , making it the world s first mass market e book . However, there were technical problems with downloading, and hacker computer security hackers eventually cracked the encryption on it. Later that year, King decided to release The Plant directly via his website, unencrypted and in installments. People could pay a one dollar fee for each installment using the honor system . He threatened, however, to drop the project if the percentage of paying readers fell below 75 percent. He viewed the release as an experiment in alternate forms of distribution, writing on his ....

A plant geneticist is a scientist involved with the study of genetics in botany . Typical work is done with gene s in order to isolate and then develop certain plant Trait biology trait s. Once a certain trait, such as plant height, fruit sweetness, or tolerance to cold, is found, a plant geneticist works to improve breeding methods to ensure that future plant generations possess the desired traits. Plant genetics played a key role in the modern day theories of heredity , beginning with Gregor Mendel s study of pea plants in the 19th century. The occupation has since grown to encompass advancements in biotechnology that have led to greater understanding of plant breeding and Hybrid biology hybridization . Commercially, plant geneticists are sometimes employed to develop methods of making produce more nutritious, or altering plant pigments to make the food more enticing to consumers.
