These plants crop less well but probably have a better flavour and a thinner skin or an irregular shape and colour. Modern seed produces a much greater yield, thicker skin, brighter colour and little taste. It's all a question of marketing.
A new technique for grafting plants could increase production and eliminate diseases for some of the world’s most imperilled crops, such as bananas and date palms. Plant grafting, where the root of ...
