News report: On July 1, Zhang Jiangang, a melon farmer in Wagang Town, found a pair of conjoined twin watermelons in his own melon field, with the two watermelons uniform in size. Everyone who saw them was amazed. Zhang Jiangang, who has more than 10 years of melon-growing experience, also saw such a watermelon for the first time. He could not bear to cut it open, and did not know whether such a melon could be eaten at all, so he sent the watermelon to the watermelon management department of the Wagang Town government.

Can this kind of conjoined watermelon actually be eaten? The reporter interviewed Jiang Jun, an expert from the Municipal Academy of Agricultural Sciences. He told the reporter that the probability of this kind of conjoined watermelon appearing is small. Normally, a pistil produces only one melon; this situation may be due to a gene mutation when the watermelon was forming its flower buds, and when it bloomed, two pistils were joined together. Eating it will not only cause no harm to the human body, but it is also sweeter than ordinary watermelons.
