Well, I kicked the
topic around with a couple of biologists and they thought that GMO soy
would have been pretty hard not to recognize, so Schmeiser may have
known that he had something different.



The case that I heard about (at the Seed Saver's meet a few years ago) was
canola aka rape, rather than soy. Schmeiser claimed that he did indeed
save seeds, but they were from his fields, and if GMO markers were there,
it was cross-contamination and not his fault.
What really needs to be decided is if anybody owns those genes once they
escape into the wild.
