Genetic Engineering in Plant Breeding

This chapter critiques the phrase 'I could care less' and transitions into an insightful interview with a plant biologist about innovative techniques in plant breeding, particularly genetic modifications in strawberries. It discusses the potential benefits, challenges, and regulatory aspects of genetic engineering, emphasizing the trade-offs between disease resistance and yield. The conversation further explores the scientific processes involved, comparing conventional breeding methods with modern genetic engineering approaches like CRISPR.
