A half-century of “wide cross” hybridizations, which involve the movement of genes from one species or genus to another, has given rise to plants – including everyday varieties of corn, oats, pumpkin, wheat, black currants, tomatoes, and potatoes – that do not and could not exist in nature.
Medio siglo de hibridizaciones "transversales", que implican el traspaso de genes de una especie o género a otro, ha dado lugar a plantas -entre ellas variedades cotidianas de maíz, avena, zapallo, trigo, grosellas negras, tomates y papas- que no existen, y no podrían existir, en la naturaleza.
