No doubt we'll see this transplanted into GM crops for reduced fertilizer need.

Maybe we'll make some progress in human genetic engineering and get it in us too. We'd be able to eliminate the need for B3 vitamins!

I’ll let other people try that out, then in 20 years we’ll do the classic “well sh/t, messing with this actually* also messes that up. Whoops!”

Well I guess we need to figure out how to regression test humans then!

It'll be lots of fun when AGI starts doing unit tests on us.
