RE: About the amazing mechanism how infested tomato plants help uninfested ones to defend against 'common cutworms'.
Wow, fascinating! Things I didn't know! But I don't see the point in then GMOing the plants to do what they're already doing. The world is finding out that GMOing plants is a vector for those scientists with malicious intentions to weaponize the food supply. Instead, we can use plants' native abilities to improve and expand our organic farming & gardening.
I am a supporter of organic farming & gardening, too, but at least extracted genes which could produce defense compounds in laboratories are different from poisonous chemicals: the end product would still be natural. There should be some testing though to be sure that it only affects the 'cutworms' and not at the same time bees, bumblebees or butterflies ...
