| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles "an Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center scientist studying gene expression in plants with green fluorescent protein (GFP)." Explains that GFP is used by "geneticists in gene transfer studies because it's so easy to confirm that the gene is present." Discusses Dr. Finer who is studying stress resistance in plants, specifically with the Christmas cactus. Reports "Finer has been able to produce root structures that glow when viewed under a microscope and illuminated with blue light...which may produce promising marketing opportunities with ornamentals." |
