Default Harpin protein/Messenger

Has anyone looked into treating orchids with a product called "Harpin"
with a trade name Messenger made by EDEN Bioscience. Info on their
website (www.edenbio.com) sounds very intriguing. There is reference to
an article in the journal SCIENCE that indicates that the harpin
protein can be very beneficial to certain plants. Disease resistance,
increased plant growth etc.

Thanks

Ralph Snodsmith swears by the stuff. Haven't tried it yet personally.
