Destruction Factor - The Seeds of Creation - James Follett - Saturday Night Theatre

Agriculturist Ralph Exon has created a new strain of Soya Bean plant, (dubbed "The Exon Strain") in an effort to alleviate famine in the Third world. The plant is remarkably hardy and efficient – growing over two feet in the space of half an hour under almost any conditions. However, it has an unexpected side effect and produces oxygen at vastly increased levels, so much so that when placed in proximity to a flame it causes uncontrollable fires that are at first mistaken for incendiary devices by the police and fire brigade.
