  > People have this fear that GMO trees will take over the world, but these are containment genes that make taking over the world essentially impossible, It's also a convenient run-around for laws that allow you to cultivate whatever plant you own. I'm not entirely sure if many countries have those laws but I know that at least the netherlands has them. It's basically DRM for trees.
