Plant biologists at the University of California, Davis, have discovered a way to make crop plants replicate through seeds as clones. The discovery …. could make it easier to propagate high-yielding …. crops and make them available to the world’s farmers. The ability to produce a clone …. of a plant from its seeds would be a major breakthrough for world agriculture. Instead of purchasing expensive hybrid seeds each year …. farmers could replant seeds from their own hybrid plants and derive the benefits of high yields year after year.
