No, but subsequent generations may. Most people don't know the technical
definition of information and confuse "meaning" with information. A
sentence has meaning; a sequence has information and may or may not have
meaning. An example:
the sentence--
I have a cat
has as much information as
B nrts r zrs
One sequence has meaning (the sentence) and the second sequence has no
meaning. Information is defined by an entropy type equation or by a
compressibility criteria. A highly compressible sequence--0101010101010101
has little information and is highly compressible being represented by a
shorter sequence "8 '01'"
So, to answer your question, information, being measured by compressibility
a daughter plant may have more or less information than the parent. I
suggest you take a look at Yockey's Information theory and Molecular
Biology.
