Fields of Study: Watermelon Breeding

Have you ever eaten one of those small PureHeart seedless watermelons, and wondered who made it? Have a look at the next installment of Fields of Study with Xingping Zhang, a commercial plant breeder who works on watermelons and other cucurbits. This video takes you to Khon Kaen, Thailand to a Syngenta breeding station where Xingping talks about how he became a plant breeder, and what you might want to know if you think this kind of career sounds exciting.
