Genetically modified vines avoid virus

Published July 3, 2009, 3:41 pm, redOrbit

Genetic engineering could make grapevines immune to a common virus that now results in smaller grapes and crop loss, German scientists said. Modified plants have produced antibodies against Grapevine fanleaf virus, caused by the vine louse, or rust mite, researchers at the Institute for Molecular Biology and Applied Ecology, in Aachen, said. These antibodies 'recognize' the viruses and prevent ...

  • Teenage 'baby' may lack master ageing gene - health - 25 June 2009 - New Scientist: Pioneering investigations have thrown the first scientific light on the highly unusual case of Brooke Greenberg, a child from Baltimore, Maryland, who is 16 years old, but whose size and development corresponds to that of an infant of 11 months. The hope is that the investigation will throw up new clues to ageing. But the researchers involved say that Brooke's condition is not a reversed version of conditions that lead to premature ageing.
