<P>Ein kurzer Text, der die Kreation einer neuen Sorte Wassermelonen beschreibt, und Hinweise auf eventuelle Biopiraterie enthält.</P>
<P><TT>Wo kommen Syngenta's Minimelonen her ??<BR>Ein Geruch nach Biopiraterie.<BR><BR>Mini-melons go on sale in US<BR>New Scientist, 26August2002<BR>A sweet, seedless watermelon that fits easily in your fridge has been <BR>created <BR>by US researchers. The 12-centimetre mini-melons, created by normal <BR>breeding, have already gone on sale in some parts of the US. <BR>The mini-melons also have a thinner rind and a uniform flavour <BR>throughout <BR>the fruit. In contrast, traditional water-melons tend to concentrate <BR>the flavour <BR>in a "sweet spot" in the middle, says John Sorenson of Syngenta Seeds, <BR>the <BR>company that has developed the variety at its labs in Boise, Idaho, <BR>over the <BR>past four years.<BR><STRONG>The scientists crossed wild dwarf varieties of melon, found in <BR>undisclosed <BR>locations outside the US, with established commercial strains</STRONG>. They <BR>then bred <BR>the resulting mini-melons to have thin skins. <BR></TT></P><p><br><hr size=1>Do you Yahoo!?<br>
