  The program will begin in Ethiopia and Kenya as soon as a training facility has been set up and some technical and practical questions have been resolved, including a clarification of the registration process, according to Adler.The project will be initiated in Addis Ababa under the supervision of an EDEN agricultural specialist hired specifically to implement this project.

  In the late 1980s, Dr. Zhongmin Wei, formerly a Cornell University scientist and now Eden's chief scientific officer, discovered that when a plant detects the presence of harpin it triggers an early-warning system in plants.

  ZHONGMIN WEI, Ph.DVice President and Director, Research
  
  Dr. Zhongmin Wei is vice president of research for EDEN Bioscience.Dr. Wei received his Ph.D. in molecular biology from the department of plant pathology, Nanjing Agricultural University, China, and the Molecular Genetics Laboratory, Institute of Plant Physiology of the Chinese Academy of Science, Shanghai, in December 1987.After receiving his Ph.D., Dr. Wei became a member of the faculty in the department of plant pathology, Nanjing Agricultural University, specializing in rice leaf blight disease.Subsequently, Dr. Wei was invited to Cornell University, where he served both as a researcher and as a visiting scientist.
  
  While at Cornell, Dr. Wei and his colleagues discovered and characterized the first harpin protein and related genes.This work, published as a cover article in Science on July 3, 1992, was quickly recognized and described by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as a major technological breakthrough.The lay press at the time, including the New York Times science section, also highlighted the discovery.
  
  After the initial discovery, Dr. Wei and others continued to explore a variety of harpin proteins, harpin genes and related topics.During this period, Dr. Wei began experimenting with a new idea.The concept was elegantly simple : Would applying the harpin protein directly to plants encourage treated plants to protect themselves against various diseases without the need for traditional pesticides? The dramatic success of his experiments completely surprised him and others at Cornell.That work has lead to the development of Messenger ® and EDEN's harpin and harpin-related technology.Dr. Wei is the inventor or co-inventor on more than 40 harpin and harpin-related patents or patent applications in the United States and more than 100 worldwide.

  Scientists have been searching for agents that can effectively switch on' these plant defense mechanisms for years, said Dr. Zhongmin Wei, vice president and director of research at EDEN Bioscience.Dr. Wei and his colleagues at Cornell University discovered harpin protein.EDEN has further studied harpin protein and developed the commercial application of Messenger at its cutting-edge research and production facility in Bothell.
  
  While the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classifies Messenger as a biochemical pesticide, the product does not directly kill anything.Instead, Messenger simply sends a message to the plant to protect itself.
  
  Messenger has been found to be virtually non-toxic to mammals, birds, honeybees, plants and aquatic species.
