The Mortiflia Document

The Mortifilia Document is a document with a detailed investigation about the properties of the Mortifilia. It is not stated who's investigation is, but it can be guessed that it's from the Friedman Twins. The file speaks about the rare properties of the plant, from their unnatural fear of light, to the poisonous black spores it releases. It's conclusion ends with a noticed reception to crossbreeding.

Location
It is found on the West Classrooms. On the first floor, on the Lab Room. On the podium, the note remains there.

The Mortifilia
The Mortifilia comes in the form of ciphers.

Classification appears difficult. This endemic plant allows microscopic buds to appear, which do not appear destined to form a new plant but to possibly generate other leaves (for closer examination). The parasites and spider-like appearance explain its capacity to propagate in an excessive manner. Hypothesis verified by the presence of an oversized sucker ensuring proliferation.

Detailed examination of the buds: the bud shows a stupefying germinative power. Hundreds of lines at the neck confirm that the species has phenomenal longevity.

Cutting the xylems: the ducts are completely dry, no trace of humidity. How are these chlorophyll cells irrigated?

The black substance released comes from glands located on the root; it is poisonous to its biological environment.

During a darkness - light - darkness sequence, variations in dioxygen concentration are observed, whether DCPIP is present or not. The plant is particularly sensitive to exposure: it fears the light! This plant transgresses the rules of phytology.

Molecular analyses show genetic associations that enable the Mortifilia to be defined as a non-recombinant isolat at the genetic level; this means that it does not have a sexual process for exchanging genetic material, but a parasexual one. I attempted to experiment during which a transient diploid node was formed. In this node, mitotic cross-over was produced at low frequency. The diploid node then self-haploided through the loss of chromosomes Using this system, two distinct species could exchange genetic material.

Conclusion:
It is certain that the Mortifilia possesses abnormal properties. Notwithstanding its incredible longevity, the plant is particularly receptive to crossbreeding. Research must be continued and the genotype of these cells must be examined in detail.

Trivia

 * The document explains that the Mortifilia's classification is difficult due to it being such an abnormal plant species.
 * The Document suggests the Mortifilia may not need a lot of water (Or any at all) due to it's Xylems not having any traces of water.
 * The Document states that the Black Spores emitted from the Mortifilia come from a gland on it's roots.
 * The Spores are also poisonous to it's environment.
