GMOs Perfected Down to the Chromosome Level

Roland Piquepaille writes "If don't like the concept of 'Frankenfoods,' I have bad news for you. U.S. researchers have developed an artificial chromosome for corn plants. The Chicago Tribune reports that researchers can now make chromosomes to order. These artificial chromosomes are accepted as natural by the plants and passed through generations. As the Monsanto Company bought rights to use this mini-chromosome stacking technology in corn, cotton, soybeans, and canola, I guess we'll soon eat food made from permanently genetically modified organisms (PGMOs?)."

GMO idea

[Lerc]

I had this idea yesterday (alcohol may have been involved).

You could take the genes from geckos/skinks that makes their tails fall off when they are frightened and put it into grass.

Then you could have a lawn that you could mow by going outside and shouting Bang!.
