Dreylad posted:I really need to do some more research about all the crops government programs have produced, I know in Canada our federal experimental farms have developed a lot of cold-resistant cereal crops. I'm guessing that most of the poo poo we rely on to sustain ourselves were spun out of government research because capital would never be willing to take on that kind of risk, go figure The University of Saskatchewan has a good fruit program, which started in an interesting way. quote:As director of the Dominion of Canada’s Forestry Farm in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Les Kerr’s primary job was to develop ornamental and disease-free trees and shrubs to be used as bird habitat and wind breaks. But in 1944, Les Kerr got sidetracked by cherries. Their haskap program is also the envy of the world, as far as those things go. They’re not going to solve world hunger, but I it’s good that someone is working on crops like these. It’s not good if monoculture fruits grown in epic scale strangle everything else. Even in Japan, which has relatively strong agricultural protectionism, American imports are pushing out Japanese citrus. Haskap This has been described as “like someone asked Georgia O'Keeffe to paint a blueberry bush”.

T-man posted:Banana question: I've done some cursory looking into plant factories and other climate-independent growing methods. How can or should we grow bananas locally or in post-climate change hell world? The good news is that bananas aren’t too picky about climate. As long as it doesn’t get too cold, they’re O.K.. They’re not like some other plants that are overly sensitive to heat or require particular humidity or seasonal variation*. They’ll just keep growing. It’s already possible to fruit bananas outdoors in places as strange as San Francisco. With climate change, bananas will grow a little farther north. Climate destabilisation will of course cause a net loss of productivity, but many other crops will fare worse. *There’s an exception in fe‘i bananas. Pacific islanders domesticated an entirely different species of banana than the one that spread everywhere else. Fe‘i bananas grow well in the tropical highlands and nowhere else. Colonialism hit them hard and now climate change threatens. The banana belt will be pushed farther up the mountains, possibly disappearing entirely. T-man posted:Follow-up question: can you make exploding bananas like in SS13 We’ll be stretching the words “exploding bananas”, but yeah. Gram for gram, dried bananas have three times the energy of TNT. It is, however, more difficult to quickly release the energy in a banana. What it would take to make an explosion is grinding dried bananas into a fine powder, suspended that powder in the air, and lighting it. Such explosions have happened in facilities where flammable powders are present, including sugar, starch, coal, sawdust, and metals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg7mLSG-Yws Thermobaric weapons are a packaged version of the same phenomenon, delivering a flammable powder to the target, dispersing it into the air, and igniting the cloud.

are there a relatively well known suite of mutations responsible for the desirable traits of domestic bananas? reduced/no seeds, larger size, more numerous bunches, whatever? some work has been done into de novo domestication of wild tomato species. if people were willing to stomach gmos then hardy and resistant wild species could be domesticated within a few years time, potentially.

To solve the banana crises facing the world we need to look beyond the simple breeding schemes we have in the past. It's time to bring the power of machine learning to tame the mighty banana. My fruit-based neural net will analyze all data that exists about bananas and create the ultimate treat, one finally able to stand and fight King K Rule on its own instead of waiting to be saved by Donkey Kong yet again.

Yeah well then why do they fit so great in my hand, like they are meant to be there? Follow-up question for the wider thread, could we breed bananas that have grooves on the outside of the peel that fit my fingers even more perfectly, so I don't lose my grip when I hold them while running?

I don’t know of any fluted or chequered bananas, but there some weird shapes out there. ‘Pitogo’ has little spherical fruits. Fruits of the ‘Praying Hands’ cultivar have their peels all fused together.
