99.999999% similarity might mean the differencen between a disesase

wheat and one that is a total failure.
I think you should go back and study your genetics and pland breeding.


you were the one who appeared surprised to find "the GM scenario would

have
a large number of crop varieties or even a large number of crops with
several genes in common. "

yes but these are new genes, recent introductions. No test of time you

see.

no, these are old genes, purely in a different place, I have heard of no
case where a new gene has been manufactured, they are just moved from one
species to another
