It will be interesting to see who funded the research grant and who's hands the patent will fall into.

From the paper, retyped by me as it's in PDF format:

This research was supported by funds from the Texas Cotton Biotechnology Initiative (TxCOT), Cotton Inc., and Texas Agriculture Experiment Station.

You retyped it? Why didn't you just copy and paste?

Because it was just one sentence and I didn't feel like hunting down the right button or command.

Algriculturalists have also bred Quinoa plants without the nasty flavored coating around their grain. The result is that the birds gobbled it up way too fast to harvest. I wonder if the same thing would happen with these cottonseeds.
