Has anyone heard of smart breeding? It is an
alt to genetic modification.
"Instead of looking to other organisms for genes
with particular traits, smart breeding searches
a crop's own genome for a chosen characteristic
- such as drought resistance, or a particular
color or taste. The dormant genes for many desired
traits have been found hiding in rare or wild
varities of some plants. Smart breeders employ
crossbreeding techniquest to draw out these traits...
Without genetic modification's expense, patent
politics, or potential environmental risks, smart
breeding is the best of both worlds, supportors say."
