> particularly where unlike cross-bred bananas, plants are being "enhanced" with genes purposefully to make them toxic to certain species. Folks cross-breed, look for, and induce mutants (via radiation and other means) for exactly the same purposes as they use gene-splicing. It would take longer to get round-up resist corn via cross-breeding, but folks would be trying to do it if they didn't have gene techniques.
