Ginda, Does this mean they are examining sequences after each successful
fertilization, or that they are using some Genetic Engineering concepts and
practices to achieve this end? In relation to wild breeding populations, an
item
which has not been addressed is hand pollination in breeding has many
downsides.
Natural flower structure differs from flower to flower, with some flowers
being
unable to fertilize under normal conditions. ie insect/wind. Various parts can
have flaws only revealed under a microscope. By hand pollinating the number of
these types of flowers is likely to increase, debilitating the plant in future
generations. This has been recognized first with vegetable
breeding/preservation,
I still wonder whether the Chestnut will ever be more than functionally extinct,
since its habitat niche has been filled by other species in the last 50+ years.
