This is a fascinating finding and I am sure will open up all sorts of possibilities such as new drugs or medicinal plants, but I suspect the anti-pro GM banter will start on this. Not sure why because as far as I can tell the issues are not GM technology issues. They might be plant breeding issues, but overall I think it is simply a revealing piece of research.
