@pratik @Gabz Isn’t GMO typically defined as gene-level modification (picking this gene over that gene in a variety, or splicing in a gene from some other variety), whereas typical hybridization is the cross-breeding of two related types, producing whatever nature decides (and even that’s on a spectrum, because there are some hybrids that persist and others that must be bred anew each year)…? They are the same thing in the broad sense, but the devil, as always, is in the details, no?
@Gabz Your visit to CA reminds me of one year we had a bunch of study-abroad students on our Model Arab League delegation; the model was held in Savannah, so one day I drove them (I think it was a wrong turn initially) across the Savannah River into SC so that they could all get out and say they’d been in SC, too, not just GA, when they went home to their countries ;-)
