New Technological Breakthrough to Fix Problems of Previous Breakthrough

COLLEGE STATION, TX--Agricultural scientists around the world are hailing
what is being called "the biggest breakthrough in biotechnology since the
breakthrough it fixes."

  On Monday, Texas A&M chemists unveiled Zovirex-10, a revolutionary new
fungicide capable of halting the spread of a fungus unexpectedly spawned by
a July 2000 breakthrough, an advanced soy hybrid that grows 10 times better
in soil over-saturated with chemical herbicides.

  The fungus, which, if left unchecked, would likely have destroyed 98
percent of Earth's soy crop and wrought untold environmental havoc, made
the latest scientific advance possible.
 ...
"People shouldn't see man-made global disasters as a bad thing," Oberst
added. "They should see them as scientific breakthroughs waiting to happen."
