Hi I joined to get quick information and a general public knowledge sample on various subjects. Hopefully good information. I work in a Dr Jeckll technical field by day and a MR Hyde Fringe garage scientist at night.
For the post above. Let me give my 2 cents.
Look up March 1998 D&PL received approval of a patent for . Genetic Use Restriction Technology aka Control of Plant Gene Expression; Publication number US5723765 A, Publication type Grant, Application number US 08/477,559
Publication date Mar 3, 1998, Filing date Jun 7, 1995, Priority date Aug 1, 1994
Fee status Lapsed
Inventors Melvin John Oliver, Jerry Edwin Quisenberry,Norma Lee Glover Trolinder, Don Lee Keim
Original Assignee Delta And Pine Land Co., BiBTeX, EndNote, RefMan
Patent Citations (12), Non-Patent Citations (68), Referenced by (90),Classifications (18), Legal Events (7)

Monsanto acquired Delta & Pine Land (DPL), who jointly holds 3 US patents on this tech with the US Department of Agriculture. In October 2005, DPL won other similar patents in both Europe and Canada. Also, the multinational seed company Syngenta is requesting a Canadian patent on this tech for potatoes.
Here is what Monsanto says and it is true in word. It is true that they never developed this technology. They bought it.
They promise never to develop it. They wont it already developed. Monsanto promised to never sell it, they wont, but a subsidiary may sell it and that may legally count as Monsanto not selling it.

Let me know if this is true or fake. Bunk or no bunk.
I am curious to know if researching this deep can still lead to getting bunk.
Hi!
So glad I found this site. I've been arguing with my local organic grocer for about a year on this topic. He is relentless, posts all kinds of geoengineering videos, and calls it the most important issue of our time. So much energy misguided... Help me help him! We've got quite a back and forth going on Facebook... It's almost embarrassing.
