It was a plant health/food safety trait. Hello David, long time no see. Of course you are right, it is a Fusarium resistance trait. Jim Webster and Gordon Couger has just managed to show that they do not know what they f... they are talking about. I have no idea what the Syngenta wheat is :-) Yeah, right, you don't have a clue. but they all do cross license the technology. If you think about it they snip Grin. Give it up Gordon, Syngenta is not dealing in RR wheat. As I understand their position it is that it is going to be a tough one in any event to get any GM wheat on the market, and that a GM wheat offering no product quality benefit (read: Monsantos RR wheat) would be particularly handicapped. So, Syngenta is not willing to go down that road with RR wheat on their hand. The window for spring planted wheat is pretty short compared to winter wheat so if they just sow it with wheat and wait until it was to late to replant it would have the desired effect. Yes. Smart action, done by well-informed activists. |
