Xi's work also shows that even the genes that Rafflesia plants inherited from their own ancestors have appropriated the characteristics of the vines» genes; up to 30 percent of the corpse flowers» native genes code for proteins (the process that helps to determine physical traits) in a way that's more like the vines» than like its fellow Malpighiales».
