TAB ONE WEEK AGO:

SCIENTISTS DEVELOP SUPER DISEASE RESISTANT WHEAT WHICH ALSO BOOSTS YIELDS 15%!

'Super Varieties' of Wheat Expected to Boost Yields and Block Deadly Threat to Food Security

ScienceDaily (June 9, 2011) — Five years after the launch of a global effort to protect the world's most important food crop from variants of Ug99, a new and deadly form of wheat rust, scientists say they are close to producing super varieties of wheat that will resist the potent pathogen, while boosting yields by as much as 15 percent.

INNOVATION IS WHY THERE ARE MORE AND A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF HUMANS LIVING LON GER BETTER LIVES TODAY THAN AT ANY TIME IN ALL OF HUMAN HISTORY.
