It seems to me that getting something to produce resins would be a lot harder just because of the nature of the resin itself. You'd need something (a plant) that already has the ability to take carbon and transform basically CO2 and organic available carbon into sugars (more complex carbon moloecules) and eventually into VOCs (most complex forms of carbon).

I was thinking of olives... imagine the oil you would get packed with the perception altering effects of the magical herb! I say this because I read a while back about some country where blindness from lack of vitamin A was a problem. They genetically modified rice to produce the vitamin.. the rice now has an orange colour and blindness is Rating: 5
