Did you know that seed companies where doing genetic engineering so roundup could be sprayed over an entire field. The genetic resistant crop would live and every other plant in the field would die. That way farmers could use even more chemical-Russ In a message dated 4/3/2013 3:45:43 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time, christian.lachaud@gmail.com writes: Alberto, Sure, this would be interesting. You have mentionned GM soy engineered for roundup. Have you ever heard about any GMO which seeds would get activated by roundup ? In the case of Cardamine hirsuta, the seed is so tiny that it may be more exposed to environemental chemicals than bigger seeds ? But if such GMOs do exist, one will need to understand if it was possible that Cardamine got polluted by the roundup genes ? If it is not genetic pollution, then what is it ? Has anyone ever observed this phenomenon somewhere else or is it my local strain of Cardamine only, and I'm so lucky ? *Dr. Christian M.
