Potatoes Are Becoming Depressed

According to Gizmodo.com, "Scientists are trying to revolutionize potatoes and, in the process, cure the tubers’ depression, the result of generations of inbreeding... Potatoes reproduce through cloning, so their genome is laden with mutations. Those mutations could result in things like stunted growth or shorter lifespans." These hindrances have inspired Chinese scientists to find a better way to reproduce potatoes.
