And my point was we don't need a specialist, we need a generalist who
can adapt to whatever.

Researchers have cross-bred modern wheat seed with "ancient wild"
grass (the generalist).

yes, so that means they still have the generalist
available. i was just looking at Einkorn. doesn't
look threatened.

some seed lines are so ancient we haven't
been able to find the exact sources yet (corn being
one), but the sources may still exist in some corner
of the world. a lot left to be known.
