Default Re: high temperature banana growing habits

The attack of the killer bananas! Rest easy my friend, genetic manipulation is far beyond my reach both scientifically as well as financially. I am merely suggesting that if the genome finds the genetic switch for heat tolerance in Mysore for example, perhaps we could find a way to select those with the switch and try to produce offspring that carry the trait. Selective breeding of some sort could produce a more heat resistant sport or hybrid. Don't know how it could be done yet, just thinking out loud. I bet that some of Darwins earliest experiments would seem folly to most too, or Edison, any of the greats - yet through trial and error, sometimes good things happened. So my spirits are undaunted. Besides, I just like the whole analytical learning experience, so what the heck, right?
