To continue to be totally out of my depth, exactly how far-off science fiction is genetic companies cracking fungus-resistant bananas? Is that the sort of thing that might conceivably happen in my lifetime? it's happening right now, bit by bit

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.
