Your response is mostly irrelevant. Monsanto (now Bayer) had a patent for plants that would produce sterile seeds (not seedless), but they never commercialized them. Farmers buy hybrid seeds because second generation hybrids are inferior.
There are many ways to produce seedless plants that don’t involve genetic engineering.
Your information is way off. Bayer bought the glysophate business from Monsanto. BASF bought the cropscience business from Bayer. The seeds are in production.
I mentioned genetic engineering on top of crossbreeding. Yes there are many ways to achieve a goal. But a business is going to opt for the one with the fastest results.

Your first paragraph was:
You’re sharing information and opinions about Monsanto, but it isn’t relevant to the topic of seedless fruits.
I did nothing of the kind. You’re trying to provoke me by saying so.
I provided monsanto as an example next to other producers in the industry.
He also didn’t answer the question other than “something something genetic engineering”
Also, RoundUp resistance means crops can be planted closer together, increasing the yield from the same amount of land.
