more like fitting the best components from different cars together. different verities might have different internal hormone levels and levels they express at. by mixing and matching there is some performance gain. since to my knowledge there is limited if any DNA transfer (it is very rare phenomenon) no “new” traits can be expressed only hidden ones . The physical kinetics of horizontal gene transfer in plant grafts is above my understanding as an undergrad at this time. When I hit grad school for molecular biology I MIGHT be able to answer that better but I just got invited to an enzymology lab instead so I might take that path and try organic / biochem instead because I have basically a double major going anyway.
