I notice that a recent article in the New Scientist reports the
discovery of a "gene for giant fruit" and quotes one investigator as
saying "we could have a speeded-up way of domesticating a crop." See

I suspect that Murphy's Law might have something to say about that,
but it's an interesting idea.
