英国科学家前不久培育出一种转基因植物,它耐受强光和高温的能力比普通植物要强。这一方法有助于培育可耐受恶劣条件的农作物。英国谢菲尔德大学的科学家在最新一期英国《自然》杂志上发表论文说,他们在培育过程中并没有给植物添加来自其它物种的外源基因,而只是给植物增加了一个它本来拥有的基因。 British scientists recently cultivated a transgenic plant that tolerated glare and high temperature more than ordinary plants. This method helps to grow crops that can withstand harsh conditions. Scientists at the University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom published a paper in the latest issue of the journal Nature in the United Kingdom saying that they did not add foreign genes from other species to the plants during their cultivation but only added a gene that they originally possessed .
