I don't know about GMO, but regular crops are sterile because the are hybrids. They also are not really sterile, the seeds just don't have the beneficial traits

I don't know about GMO, but regular crops are sterile because the are hybrids. They also are not really sterile, the seeds just don't have the beneficial traits of the original hybrid.
- Xylakant 7y agoQuite a few crop plants are actually sterile. Cavendish Bananas for example (the kind you get to buy everywhere). They don't have seeds. Sweet oranges are another example.
- turbinerneiter 7y agoGood point, I was mainly thinking about grain crops. Wasn't fully aware that the term crops also includes all the other growable fruit.
