Hi, investora2z.

The use in agricultural biotechnology and biofuels development also holds a lot of promise.

I submit that as understatement of the year.

The promise of Senesco's Lazarus gene implanted at conception is awesome - or frightening to the superstitious pretend environmentalists.

Yes, We Have No Bananas

The old song may take on an apocalyptic turn as it did previously with another another sterile banana hybrid.

Scientists ‘incredibly concerned’ for fate of banana as plagues and fungus infections spread across world’s supplies

The world’s supply of bananas is under threat from plagues of bugs and fungal infections which could be disastrous if they continue to spread, researchers say.

The government in Costa Rica, one of the biggest suppliers of the fruit, has already declared a “national emergency” over the state of its crop...

What you need to understand is that every banana and plantain is a rare sterile cross of two different species of plants with inedible fruits that occur in nature.

Such plants can only be propagated by cuttings from the original plant and are then without the resistance to attack of plants with varied genetic inheritance.

Senesco and Rahan Meristem Report Positive Disease Resistance Results from Banana Field Trials

NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ--April 13, 2005--Senesco Technologies, Inc. ("Senesco" or the "Company") and Rahan Meristem, Ltd. ("Rahan") announced today that field trials of Senesco/Rahan banana plants have shown increased tolerance to the Black Sigatoka disease, as measured on an index of tolerance widely used in the industry for this disease.

Black Sigatoka, which is also referred to as Black Leaf Streak Disease ("BLSD"), is the predominant leaf spot disease of banana and is known to cause significant reductions in leaf area, yield losses of 50% or more, and premature ripening, a serious defect in exported fruit.

Suddenly there is a chance for the predominant Cavendish as well as other bananas to survive.

More has to be known, including a break in the worldwide GMO hysteria, but there is a shot it seems to me.

GMO's are the new werewolves and vampires of superstitious folk.

The cost of such folly is enormous.

The quest for the Holy Grail of a cancer cure is mighty fine but a most difficult and treacherous undertaking with antisense technology that has a failure record exceeded only by efforts to prevent sex - and overcome superstition.

Best, Terry
