Are Tomato Plants An Ancestor of Potatoes?

Scientists believe that an ancient tomato x another potato ancestor hybridized, resulting in the ancestor of all potatoes.

I read somewhere else that ancient potatoes were bitter and toxic until the ancestors if Incas selected for non-bitter, non-toxic types.

Next, I want them to cross a tomato with a carnivorous plant that will eat moles.

 

Daniel, great idea !! And one that will eat crabgrass.

I despise that stuff !!

 

And eat deer, too.

Then again, deer move faster than I do. I might be on its menu.

 

Tomato plants do eat aphids though!

 

They have already created something to eat all your money....it's called The Government

 

Agree, and as they call it in the South: " the Gummint "

 

That's very interesting, Daniel!
