Yeah. That sounds like they're growing a protein or RNA in a lab and then just spraying it on the plants. So no worries about heritability, but more cost to farmers.
Heirlooms are awesome, but it's not that there's less breeding than modern ones, just back then the economic incentive was to breed tastier fruits and vegetables. We could still do that today, we just have to fix to food system so those incentives come back.
