This RNAi concept flows out of work done by Eyal Maori, Edna Tanne, & Ilan Sela first reported in 2006. The technique is being thoroughly scrutinized by the EPA and the USDA. I can't think of a better example of going slowly and having enough testing. Some of us are wondering why it's taking so long.
