Thereās like 100 phenos of Goji. That sounds right and kinda wrong.
I get what you mean. You are looking for another phenotype that displays similar traits.
Technically, there are exactly as many phenotypes within a genetic line as there are seeds.
We often see many unique phenotypes within a line that display the same trait, or set of traits.
The only way to reproduce a single phenotype is with clones. Clones are genetically identical, though they will still express their traits differently depending on environment. This is called acclimatization.
When people refer something like āgenetic driftā or degradation in clones, they are actually just observing the effects of acclimatization as cuttings move from one grower and grow environment to the next, and perceiving these new genetic expression as a negative impact.
Individual plants may acclimatize and their growth may alter according to their genetic response to new environmental conditions. This process also occurs over multiple generations as the line adapts for survival in a new environment.
We can alter this natural process with selective breeding.
