Which Wheat Will Win?

Thank you, Japan! I suspect that you're doing this on the very shakey grounds of potential harm to humans from eating GMO wheat, but your actions will (hopefully) have the effect of saving mankinds oldest cereal crop from genetic decimation.

Japan's refusal to import wheat from a country that has GMO varieties may determine U.S. wheat growers' direction in biotech wheat development. Producers also want to sell to China, which wants the modified grain.
