Seven years! And they already did 10 years of research on this algae gene. The article mentioned preliminary trials on genetically modified wheat plants with the new trait: In preliminary trials, genetically modified wheat plants with the new trait were more robust, grew larger and produced significantly more grain than conventional wheat plants on the same amount of nitrogen fertilizer. One of Schmidt's alga genes is already patented by UF, and a patent is pending on another. So our enthusiasm is a bit premature?
