Mirzayanov developed novichok and went to Rutgers in New Jersey. If one puts somaclonal variation work at Kirov, it also means the same thing for the New Jersey Pine Barrens. The rare photo of Mirzayanov showed trees in the background.

Genetic transformation and somaclonal variation in conifers
'....Furthermore, gene-drive systems like CRISPR/Cas9 are now providing optimistic outlooks for more precise manipulation of genes in the conifer genome.'
Wikipedia's somatoclonal page states: '....A serious disadvantage of somaclonal variation occurs in operations which require clonal uniformity, as in the horticultural and forestry industries where tissue culture is employed for rapid propagation of elite genotypes.'
The Brits have asked the Convention to analyze the novichok sample rather than the Russians obtaining a sample, the latter of which is correct protocol. This is the same Convention:

According to Mirzayanov, atropine is the antidote. Scopolamine was used as starter material for truth serum in U.S. Navy's Project CHATTER, and scopolamine, scopoletin and atropine are on the same synthesis pathway. Therefore evidence is strong for Novichok variety barley to link to scopoletin biosynthesis in barley rhizosphere Streptomyces:
