==Transcript== {{Computertranscript}} :[Describe panel here] :There is an evolutionary concept sometimes called vavilovian mimicry. :Basically, a plant will mimic a food crop so that it doesn't get removed for being a weed. :Hey! That guy over there isa weed too! Hes just pretending to be grain! :The classic example is rye, once considered a nuisance to farmers. :Rye evolved large seeds and became an annual plant, rather than a perennial. In time, it became a valuable crop. :wild rye :cultivated rye :The upside is that there's a tasty grain we domes- -ticated on accident. :The downside is that rye now seems creepy to me. :Eeeat me! I'll be whatever you want! Look! Look at my plump seeds! Eat me like beautiful wheat gets eaten! :rye whiskey :rye bread :rye flour :smbc-comics.com -
