Default Fruit

When I was a kid, we used to spit watermelon seeds off the porch and into the front garden and not so surprisingly watermelon plants would grow with tiny little watermelons.

I told this to my wife the other day and she said her coworker (who grows a lot of his own vegetables) told her that nowadays, if you planted the seeds you get out of store-bought fruits and vegetables, the plants that grow won't bear fruit b/c they've been genetically engineered that way. Is that true?
