No! PIWIS are not the product of trans- or cis-gener manipulation. They are obtained by means of classic cross-breeding by artificially pollinating the castrated flowers of a "mother variety" with the pollen (pollen) of a "father variety". The seeds of the resulting berries contain the "newly combined" genetic information. These seeds are sown, seedlings are created - new plants. With luck, one of them will match my breeding goals.
