A. Crachiola and L. Makar-Limanov [J. Algebra 284 (2005)] showed the following: if X is an affine curve which is not isomorphic to the affine line , then ML(X×Y) = k[X]⊗ ML(Y) for every affine variety Y, where k is an algebraically closed field. In this note we give a simple geometric proof of a more general fact that this property holds for every affine variety X whose set of regular points is not k-uniruled.
