At least one variety of Roundup-resistant soybean is already on the market.

The casual references to "hybrids" remind me of a scene in a Disney movie. Many of those test plots are indeed sown with genetically hybridized plants. Don't think that the two species are even related all of the time. Success has been found in splicing cold-resistance genes from deep-sea creatures into the corn that feeds the steer that you ate for supper last night.
