I was reading this article on the BBC a few weeks ago and was hoping to find a bit more information and post, but I've been unsuccessful until now ... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/from_our_own_correspondent/6279929.stm A fairly bizarre tease to throw into the middle of that article. Anyway, some more details…

A farmer diverts the walkers to examine his new discovery, a rogue mustard plant that produces all its seed at once, not frond by frond.

A fairly bizarre tease to throw into the middle of that article. Anyway, some more details apparently here:

A search for the technical terms throw up a lot of very technical articles that don't mean a lot to me. It appears that India is taking the development of their Mustard industry very seriously lately.

It seems the Indians are not content to let nature take its course.
