There is no differece from the RR resistance most of the differece is one is
taken faceing west and on is take facing south and the convential till has
been out of the ground a little longer and is greener from more
photosyntisis and less disease problems.


But is the disease resulting from the need for the plant to put more
energy into making the RR metabolizing protein?


Brian, please look at some plant biochemistry texts and see how
glyphosate resistance works and how protein expression takes
negligible energy from the plants normal processes. That's a greenie
scare tactic.

Or is the yellowness something else, too?


Lack of sunlight by comparison to the others, as he said. Plants need
sunlight to actually make chlorophyll

Where are some other honest comparison photos?


Of what?
