Yup,pretty soon old-fashioned ways of breeding will become obsolete,since you can make a plant with desired characteristic 1000 times faster and more efficient.I welcome this technology because I'm aware of the incredible possibilities that it's capable of,but people,at least in my country,associate "gmo" with something that should be frowned upon,as evil-and they have no clue what it actually is.
