Agree. I figure its all the hard work of choosing the best seeds and best plants. But I think this has happened with the C. pepo field kins as well, there are some strong lineages as good as any hybrid or commercial seed. The breeding is ongoing. I think we've got some superior strains of melons and tomatoes as far as disease goes? There is some disease but the best seed lines carry surprisinly good traits.
