Bug Free AG Plant!


     Group,

      I read something very interesting in my (just received) 1999 Seed 
Savers Exchange Summer Edition Flyer,  It seems a molecular biologist has 
come up with a new potato variety called "New Leaf" that produces it's own 
insecticide, one bite from a bug on this plant and it's doomed! This plant 
was created by using some genes from Bt. (Bacillus thuringiensis) an organic 
insecticide, (WE NEED THIS!) imagine, a bug proof AG plant! Anyway it was a 
rather long and technical article explaining how everything was done and the 
outcomes, my scanner doesn't work well on small print so if someone has one 
that does I could send it by snail mail and that person could e-mail it to 
interested parties,  (Harold) I'll send a copy directly to you if your 
interested, just e-mail your address.-----(Elkskin)
