Cornell Scientist’s Quest: Perfect Broccoli
- jostmey 13y agoI appreciate this line or work - it is truly real research. But why does Bjorkman "cringe" at using more advanced technology for genetic modification, as mentioned at the bottom of the 1st page? I wish the article would discuss his reasons.

- stock_toaster 13y agoThis made me frown too when I read it in the article (talk about reactionary!). Monsanto really does seem like the quintessential "evil corporation". I do like broccoli though!
