Could it be possible, that the rust protects the wheat from another threat?

Oh...stem rust. That’s bad. Well, might the gene itself protect the wheat from something else?

“demand for wheat in the developing world was expected to jump 60 percent by 2050”

Yeah, just like we ran out of crude oil in 1980.

How come it isn’t illegal to issue Malthusian nonsense predictions?
