STORY LEAD:
ARS Investigate Genes Involved in Forming Plum Pits
There's something really strange about this, don't you think? How big a problem is the pit in a plum, anyway?
I know people who won't touch my grapes - even as a free gift - because they've got seeds! I just really struggle to understand that mindset. But OK, grapes are bite-sized, so maybe seedless is... handy. But a plum? I can't imagine a person who won't eat a plum because it has a large seed in the middle!
Well, maybe I'm just getting old and cranky, but I keep wondering if anyone even cares what these seedless plums will taste like.
