US Supreme Court ruling

As many of you know, the Supreme Court has ruled that genes as found in nature cannot be patented. I have not heard anything about how that affects patented plant varieties, which are, after all, just mutants, whose genes are products of nature not man.
Do any of you know what the new ruling means in regard to cultivars old and new? Any shade-tree lawyers out there?
