I thought you might find this interesting (from federa regulations on organic crop production)
ยง205.601 Synthetic substances allowed for use in organic crop production.
(11) Streptomycin, for fire blight control in apples and pears only until October 21, 2014.
(12) Tetracycline, for fire blight control in apples and pears only until October 21, 2014.

So, for anyone that is unsure what the above means. Tetracyline and streptomycin are two antibiotics commonly used in labs as reporter genes for the production of 'GMO' crops. The above tells us that they are also used in organic agriculture. I find this amusing given Kane's fear of antibiotic resistance from some sort of 'GMO' contamination.
