I remember people messing with the stuff a couple of years ago. Soaking seeds to induce the mutation. The stuff is real poisonous and at best will give you the same doubling of chromosomes that occurs naturally ( less often for sure ) thru breeding. I think the future is about plant brassinosteroids and their ability to increase production and amplify existing plant attributes.
