"In the meantime, the team’s collaborators in China sequenced the complete genomes of the nearly 400 tomato varieties included in the research. The results allowed them to determine the genes that code for the flavor-enhancing aroma compounds necessary for good tomato flavor."

Thank you China.

Grow heirlooms, you lazy SOB’s...

Hope they’re right. But how many times have we been promised tastier meat and produce thru chemistry, only to have the hype fall flat?

Some guy named vannrox posted... oh, wait, that's you! :-)... an interesting tomato thread last month.

I'm going to order some seeds for Park's Whoppers this fall. See if I can't grow something if I really try hard (I've been known to kill cacti thru neglect), because I'm tired of the bland tomato scene at the supermarket.

GMO tomatoes. NO THANKS. I will tend my 30 heirloom plants in my greenhouse until they turn bright red and enjoy.

Do they splatter well when thrown at antifa demonstrators?

Coming right up! A whole new array of chemicals to give the ‘maters a little flavor. Can you say “GMO”? More mad scientists screwing with our food. It never was the tomato’s fault. It’s the greedy bahstids picking them green that cause the “no flavor” problem. How did we ever get good tomatoes in the days of train cars cooled with crude melting ice, etc. Now we have refrigerated everything, but insist on harvesting produce before it’s ripe....and then wonder why it has no flavor!

Yeah, let’s all click over to the LA Times and help generate some revenue for them. After all it’s important news about tomatoes....

Walmart is the master of selling fruits and vegies that are hard and cardboard and taste like cardboard.

Fresh foods are better at a real grocery store. The best come from a home garden.
