I was doing random research and reading on some things about genetic modification to plants in general...
Then i read this:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3394238/
and to give you a sum up of what that link has to do with any aquatic.. anything, is that "Yea fertilizers get into the 'aquatic ecosystems' and do stuff"
That's the summary of the article so don't bother but it inspired me to think for a moment.
Have any aquatic plants been genetically modified before? i never really thought about it. Lets say some where, most likely for agricultural pursuits. But lets think besides that, what would you genetically modify about a aquatic plant? Less nutrient intake with the same growth rates? im not sure if that is a thing but im sure it could be in 2026. I think aquatic plants in the current day and age, carry the interest of people who desire to Mix them up and make new varieties rather than doing this... (if it can even be done)
Not sure, i know i'm kind of blabbing here and not making sense but i'd be interested in seeing some of your thoughts on this topic in general.
