OT - blue rose
It's the same picture that the Telegraph article had - but - it is an illustrator's conception of what a blue rose would look like. They still have to actually produce the thing. The discovery was made by chance by two biochemists conducting research into drugs for cancer and Alzheimer's in a medical laboratory at Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee. Professor Peter Guengerich and Dr Elizabeth Gillam were trying to find out how the human liver breaks down drugs when they came across a liver enzyme that had a startling effect. "When we moved a liver enzyme into a bacterium, the bacterium turned blue," Dr Guengerich said. "We were aware that there were people in the world who had been interested in making coloured flowers, especially a blue rose, for a number of years. "Dr Gillam had the bright idea that we could capitalise on our discovery by moving the gene into plants - and produce a blue rose. They think that they could get the rose up and going within a year or two :-) kathy :-) A HREF="http://www.onceuponapond.com/"Once upon a pond/A |

OT - blue rose
notice under the picture it says "How the blue rose could look" .. could, cause until
that gene is moved into the rose and tried dont know what kind of interactions there are going to be, or even if the enzyme is going to get expressed.
