Articles of doom!

Here's an article on the sequencing of the banana genome. There's a picture of a wild-type banana!
Here's a brief piece on schools that are struggling because they're neither poor enough for special subsidies nor rich enough for million dollar PTAs. I find the million dollar PTAs obscene, frankly.
There's an article on an engineered variety of apple that resists browning. Comments note that cultivated varieties that do just that already exist. The nationwide association of apple growers is resisting this variety. Their bigger problem is the fact that the most easily obtained apples have had the flavor bred out of them. They're also ridiculously huge.
