"While it will likely take more than a decade for this technology to be translated into food crops and achieve regulatory approval, RIPE and its sponsors are committed to ensuring that smallholder farmers, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia, will have royalty-free access to all of the project's breakthroughs." Not free for you goy... Get your shekels out.

Monsanto engineers them to be sterile though.

That said this gene would spread somehow and like wild fire if it checks out.
