If a plant develops a new gene, that gene will retroactively appear in all the seeds and plants from its family tree.
So for example, I plant some weed. I get my first harvest, and I plant some more weed from a seed from that harvest. That second weed plant ends up getting the stunted yield gene, and - voila! - my first plant and all its seeds from its first harvest end up getting the stunted yield mutation as well. Which is really quite annoying.
Second example: I have a grape plant named Purple. I harvest Purple (and they die) and extract one of the bunches of grapes to get some seeds. I plant one of those seeds - it's Purple Junior. Purple Junior develops the seedless gene strain. All the bunches of grapes from Purple's harvest and the rest of the seeds I extracted magically develop the seedless gene strain as well. And Purple's bloodline is slated for termination.
I searched the forums and a similar bug was posted, but it was about plant mutations. Here's the thread (their example is more succinct than mine): https://forum.ss13.co/showthread.php?tid=2271
