  • ... that plant biology professor Luca Comai independently developed glyphosate resistant plants while working at Calgene and published his research before Monsanto researchers were able to? Source: "As if to drive the point home, Luca Comai whistled another shot past Monsanto's bow just a few months later. In October of 1985, he and several colleagues at Calgene published a paper in Nature describing their own glyphosate-tolerant plants...Comai's paper was a professional embarrassment to Monsanto."

  • The article is new and it is nominated within one day of its creation. The length of the prose is more than enough. The content is neutral and well cited. No copyright violations nor plagiarism were found. The hook is within the specified length and is interesting. The hook is cited in the book. [1] I verified it with Google Book. QPQ is done.   Teetee taw (talk) 08:31, 6 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
