Sidd said: When I read this, chills ran up my spine. There is research in progress in using insects to disperse modified viruses to plants they feed on. These viruses will, in turn, modify plant genomes. The modifications extend to affecting the chromosomal germline so that the modified traits will be inherited. The research is […]
