If there is anything to Senesco, on the ag side...

There was and it was killed by the absurd superstition against the mythical GMO's lead by purported liberals, of all people. They boast about being reality based, fully accepting of scientific findings from evolution to global warming and yet fall for mythology equivalent to tales of werewolves and vampires.

Senesco's lead program with an Israeli firm that sold banana plantings worldwide produced plants that could resist disease and insect predators without herbicides or pesticides.

Today the cavendish banana is threatened with worldwide destruction
as the former michelena gros ["Big Mike"] was decades earlier by a wilt that is far more destructive than the potato blight that caused the Irish Potato Famine, from which Ireland hasn't fully recovered to this day.

To understand this you have to understand all commercial bananas are sterile hybrids resulting from a cross of two different species of plants. Every commercial banana plant is produced from a cutting or other propagation of the original hybrid. A disease capable of killing one, kills them all because they are all the same plant.

The GMO hysteria may be dying but aging patents, licenses and technology probably means Senesco remains are worthless IMO.

Pity but the contrary way of humans.

All JMO.

Best, Terry
