i have heard that due to ''successfull cloning of fruits,'', many are

non seed producing qualities,, and soon it may dissappear from earth.

Well phuck me Bob..all of a sudden you want to talk to me.


no not to you directly as i have no clue who you are,, to the people,,
just to say i have heard bananas are in jeopardy of becomming extinct due to
''only'' cloning,, and breeding out bananas that seed,, hey its someting i
read,, ecotorrorism type tv show,,

Yes. Today's Bananas are susceptible to disease and unable to
reproduce without human participation in the process. Lack of genetic
diversity has driven the common Banana to the brink of extinction.
Banana-killing pathogens have gone global, and experts agree it is
very unlikely that bananas will be on supermarket shelves a decade
from now. I fully expect that the same could happen to many breeds of
dogs.

The yankkee narkks do a quick search on MS and you're gushing all over

them.

been sick for a while
thanks for the kind words MD,


ps- i just dont open posts that seem to have nothing to do with marijuana
here, or just posters who all post on the same threads,that have nothing

to do with this topic,, works fine,,

Seems like we have to make allowances for Canucks.


you should at least respect what we have done in the fight to legalize
marijuana as what we do will influence your stupid country in the future,,

remember dude,, i am growing pot LEGALLY ,, do you understand this???

so to me narkks mean Nothing!!!! they have nothing to do with me




You must stop thinking that just because I troll the narkks in this group

that makes me stupid.

i dont know who you are,, ? many people dont use the same name every
post,,so its hard to identify,,


Anyway to get back on topic...while that it may be true that bananas are

having a hard time, this has nothing to do with cloning. There's no such
thing as *over cloning*.

really does the strain not become weak??? cause i have noticed that after
time- 5 years,, our mothers started giving off weaker and weaker plants,,
less quality output,, , less vigorousness, the clones became shittyer, and
never produced like they did the first few years,,

and this is evident in other mothers of different strains we have produced,,
over time they lose their kick,, ,

this could be attributed to the way we make our mothers,, 4 foot tall,
topped, pruned up to 3 foot,, then level shearing off the top at 5 foot,, to
make a wide flat 1/2 ball shaped plant or bowl.

this is what i have found over the years on each mother,, they get weaker
over time after cloning off thousands of plants,,



In fact the banana has been cloned for the past 10,000 years, which

makes Moon Dawgies 1980's science seem what it is, total crap.

Message-ID:
Keep in mind that after many successive clonings of clones of clones,

etc.,the chromosomal telomeres gradually get worn out, and the plants
become inferior.

Keep in mind these are narkk spammers..they know shit about growing.



i cant prove anything about anyone so i could care less, thats not why i am
here, and does not influence what i read,, like i said before ''your''
narkks have given me info to benefit my ability to grow marijuana,, and is
that not ''aiding and abbetting''??? in your country???

if a person has no ability to grow pot,, and a narkk teaches that person
how to grow pot,, and then busts that person for growing pot he could not
grow unless the narkk helped him, is that not ''entrapment''???

any chance you could use a nickname here???

Your subject line *Bananas/dogs going extinct because of inbreeding* needs clarifying, because of course these are two different issues.

You are absolutely right about the pathogens.

Unfortunately in the case of the banana there are only a few top researchers, three were killed in a plane crash and soon after, the man widely regarded as the world's top banana breeder, Phil Rowe, died.

A lack of interest from the big banana companies, who got bored with funding unsuccessful breeding programs and now concentrate their research budgets on finding new fungicides, which is bad news for the consumer.

Inbreeding reduces fertility, vigour or overall health and mental stability. Inbred animals are more prone to diseases such as infections and cancer

However both questions have got phuck all to do with narkk Moon Dawgie's assertion;

etc.,the chromosomal telomeres gradually get worn out, and the plants
become inferior.
