Seedless watermelon are not the result of some nefarious Frankenstein/GMO like experimentation. They result from crossing diploid watermelon, containing 2 sets of chromosomes (total of 22), with a tetraploid watermelon, with 4 sets of chromosomes(total of 44). This cross results in a triploid offspring ,3 sets of chromosomes, 33 total. The triploid plant is sterile due to the odd number of chromosomes. Hence no seeds. So kind of like a mule, the sterile offspring of horse and donkey.
They can talk all they want (and with AI) but the reality is that people grow things and save seeds. I'm a seed saver. We trade with other seed savers. There's no way to stop that.
A lot in my vegetable garden is seeds that fell from the last year's crops and then grew. More are just seeds from overpplanting that I cleaned, dried and saved and reused.
As far as grapes are concerned, you just have to get a cutting and root it. Easy peasy.

Many of the seeds in fruit are healthy for your body: watermelon seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc.
I like sunflower seeds while watching my grandkids baseball games.
What I wouldn't give for a good old fashioned bag of seeded weed.
Seedless watermelon sucks, think of the generations of kids missing out on seed fights :(
Amen
I mean... they SELL seeds even at the dollar store near me during spring.
Of the fruits that I ate that had seeds, I planted them and they yielded fruit, too.
Either this is an extremely slow process that has yet to be rolled out or they are exaggerating.
Hell, I even have 20+ fruit trees grown strictly from supermarket fruit.
Scoff if you want but Monsanto built a business controlling seeds
This is AI gen
Who's the guy talking besides some anonymous guy
