1.27.99 UF Biotech Breakthrough: Alga Gene Boosts Crop Yields
gnv2.ifas.ufl.edu

After more than 10 years of research, a patent is expected to be issued this Spring for use of the GDH gene in genetically modified crop plants produced in collaboration with Monsanto Co. in St. Louis. Schmidt and Monsanto scientist Philip Miller, who studied under Schmidt and received his UF doctoral degree in microbiology and cell science in 1994, inserted the algal gene into wheat plants to see how this crop plant would perform.

Got this from TMF Monsanto thread (thanks, Serenus).
