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.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
