       Saving the banana? A genetically modified Cavendish banana has been successfully grown in a field infected with the deadly Panama disease TR4—and it survived. This is a huge deal for global food security. #bananas #biotech #biotechnology #gm #geneticallymodifiedfoods #cavendishbanana https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2025-10-26/gm-banana-qcav-4-genetic-modification-stops-panama-disease-tr4/105761042

       @mojo @Su_G The aspect of the GM debate that few folks focus on is the most important one: it is intellectual property.“QUT is already committed to providing non-exclusive licenses for the commercial exploitation of QCAV-4 inAustralia to a number of other industry groups. QUT will endeavor to make QCAV-4 available to other groupsthrough likely non-exclusive licenses to Australian banana micropropagation operations. It is likely that QUT willreceive a royalty stream from the commercial exploitation of QCAV-4.QUT owns the intellectual property rights to QCAV-4.”https://www.foodstandards.gov.au/sites/default/files/2023-11/Event%20QCAV-4-QUT%20Application%20to%20FSANZ%20%283%29_Redacted%20%281%29_Redacted.pdf#cavendish #banana #GM #intellectualProperty #QUT
