What I find interesting is the prospect that if the public funding for plant breeding and genetic engineering was ramped up in our country, the results of those efforts would be widely usable by our citizenry, with little to no IP restrictions. In addition, if the GE efforts were largely University-based, the public outlook on the technology might be much different.Karl Haro von Mogelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11409062416165090211noreply@blogger.com
