Luigi, Your use of the terms “modern breeding” led me to expect that some drastic misunderstanding was going to be presented in the video. I am quite relieved to see what is actually presented. I like the way they used the simple graphics to help explain concepts. This will be useful as one of the “links to supplemental information” posted for students in introductory botany.
Yes, sorry, it wasn’t a very elegant way of putting it on my part. Anyway, I’m glad you found the post useful. Would be interested in the students’ reactions.
