Plants can transfer genes horizontally from one plant to another more easily than us animals. Even the simple act of grafting can create a genetically distinct species. If a plant were a Facebook user, it would open all the privacy settings without a second thought.

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) could also explain some unsolved riddles, such as the fact that genes which normally occur in bacteria are present in some archaea. HGT has been recognised for some time, but no one realised that the phenomenon was an important principle of the development of living systems, even at the dawn of life. 

Finally, reproduction in all eukaryotes is dependent on sexual interaction (see Margulis (1995) in Further Reading). The implication is twofold that the DNA is at all times less exposed to horizontal gene transfer that is from species to species, which is common in bacteria but the DNA is more open to recombination as a...
