no way to conventionally breed resistance into bananas
Is that because all the commercially grown bananas are one variety (cavendish ?) so there's no diversity to cross breed with ? (May have that wrong there was something on the radio about it ages ago) . If that's the case then isn't it an argument against GE, as it has the potential to further erode genetic diversity if, say, one firm develops the perfect sheep/ apple/ whatever, it corners the market, then faults appear ?
