30,000 Year Old Plant Resurrected From Seed

SSShh, I am hatching a dino at this moment.

Maybe it's just me but if a plant didn't manage to evolve over the thousands of years there must be a reason. I hope that this ancient plant is being grown under controlled conditions, what might come back from the past that could be detrimental to agriculture of the present?

To be clear, I am a total hypocrite in this area. I agree with most genetically engineered crops, those the flourish make for better crops that are pest resistant, greater yields, and drought resistant. The failures are destroyed and I trust that seed companies and biologists recognize harmful traits in genetically engineered crops.

When I read the article, I thought of that prehistoric squirrell from Ice Age and his Acorn.

I don't like genetically engineered seeds or plants, they have taken the good Ma Nature put into them and made them mutant similarity's that may be the cause of alot of medical problems these days, JMO.
