I am one of those who think much hysteria is evident in all the opposition
to GM crops.  In discussing seedless watermelons and cucumbers Dave Green
said "Parthenocarpy is a defect in the wild, but man has occasionally found
a mutation with the defect, and maintained it for his own purposes. It is a
defect because the plant now more or less needs man's aid to reproduce."

Let's see, it seems to me that somehow a genetic modification occurred, that
would have naturally died out, but humans have maintained it.  The
watermelons have been around for 40 or more years.  Where was the anti-GM
crowd?  Busy eating seedless watermelons?
