Organic navel oranges are not genetically modified. In the case of the navel orange, the seedless trait was a naturally occurring mutation that was kept alive and thriving.
Mother nature has a mind of its own and mutations simply happen from time to time, farmers just made sure it stuck around!
SEEDLESS FRUIT such as navel oranges is propagated asexually, usually by grafting. The most frequent reasons for lack of seed development are pollination failure, or nonfunctional eggs or sperm. This property is exploited by citrus farmers who grow seedless fruits, such as navel oranges and clementines
