For those of you wondering how this is useful, tobacco is often used as a model organism in botany. The utility of this technique is less obvious in tobacco but more obvious in fruits, vegetables, etc. think seedless grapes, etc

I'd love to see a seedless watermelon. It'd be less of a hassle to eat them.

Seedless watermelon tases like nothing. I'd love to see seeded watermelon again.
