Mostly we take advantage of the crazy shit plants do anyways. We speed the process up with technology and attempt to control it.
They toss their pollen out into the environment and say “fuck everything”. So we have things like wheat, a combination of 3 grass species. Hay fever is reaction to a plant attempting to make babies with you.
The also do stuff like spontaneous ploidy changes and other mutations all the time.
In my opinion fully parasitic plants that don’t even have chlorophyll is way crazier than anything humans have done

We’ve done some craaazy shit to plants, yo.
