"Agriculture will never be the same again"

Italians find gene key to fab wine: "Italian scientists have uncovered the 'life code' of the pinot noir grape plant, a breakthrough destined to change the future of wine-making .

On Monday experts from the San Michele all'Adige Agrarian Institute presented the results of six years of research, in which they decoded the plant's genome - the complex molecular chains that constitute each organism's unique genetic heritage ."

This is fairly huge. I can't wait until the beer plant is sequenced.
