Humans love to play with their food in fact, we ve been doing it for thousands of years. In this episode of Crash Course Botany, we'll explore how we ve learned to manipulate plant genetics, from breeding tastier fruits and veggies to directly editing plant genes that help crops survive climate change. And if you ve ever wondered what GMOs are or if they re safe, we ve got you covered. Rick: Tribal American cultures widely traded selective GMOs, even between continents. You can easily find preserved strains of corn that originate in South America. While digging in an Upstate New York archaeological site. Genetics has helped us learn SO much more than just genetics itself.

Seedless watermelons are interesting. It's basically a crossbreed between two plants that are incompatible (they end up with an odd number of chromosomes. The resulting fruit is sterile in the next generation, and produces no seeds.

Alexis is the best CrashCourse hostess ever, even when they've all been great.
(I don't know about the government making sure things are safe. it's always about the money for them)

GMOs aren't just breeding. It's the LEGAL restrictions via PATENT and LICENSING enforcement which make it distasteful as corporation enforce rent-seeking extortion deals to growers.
