@mojo @Su_G The aspect of the genetically-modified food debate that few folks focus on is the most important one: a genetically-modified crop is intellectual property.

“QUT is already committed to providing non-exclusive licenses for the commercial exploitation of QCAV-4 in
Australia to a number of other industry groups. QUT will endeavor to make QCAV-4 available to other groups
through likely non-exclusive licenses to Australian banana micropropagation operations. It is likely that QUT will
receive a royalty stream from the commercial exploitation of QCAV-4.

QUT owns the intellectual property rights to QCAV-4.”
