We have been refining species of wheat for several thousand years. Genetic engineers like me are not doing anything as 【C14】______ as making a cabbage into a cauliflower 【C15】______ has been done by plant breeders in the past.
We’re simply tapping into the whole gene pool, rather than concentrating on one species at a time.
