study of cork bark
Reason: discovery of mtDNA influenced endosymbiotic theory (evidence mitochondria descend from bacteria), inheritance research (maternal inheritance, population genetics, mutation studies), and forensic science (mtDNA typing for degraded samples). It did not affect the historical/structural study of cork bark (Hooke’s observations of plant cell walls), which is unrelated.
