wdkilr,

In your earlier post you hammered Pioneer for marketing the Y series, and stated they used marker technology that has been around for some time. Did you show that much strain towards Monsanto when they marketed heavily the VT3 gene to replace the YieldGard Plus/RR2? VT3 contains the same cornborer bt, roundup ready 2, and rootworm bt that YieldGard Plus/RR2 contains, the only difference between the VT3 and YieldGard Plus are the promoters and enhancers used to express the genes in the corn. VT3 wasn't created with any new gene insertion method but yet an insertion method that has been around for years, just like the marker assisted method used to create the Y series beans.
