Transgenic plants produce new azaleas with frog genes

American researchers recently cultivated a rhododendron that contains the frog gene. On the surface, this potted azalea is no different from ordinary plants, but its genes control the synthesis of proteins in frogs. This transgenic azalea was developed by Mark Brand, a researcher at the University of Connecticut. Brand uses a frog protein discovered by a pharmaceutical company two years ago in order to help plants such as rhododendrons to better fight diseases. According to the report of the Hartford News of Connecticut, Brand's specialty is decorative gardening, which is precisely the area where genetic engineering is of great use. He hopes that one day he will be able to cultivate plants that will prevent the deer from feeding. However, it is now difficult for scientists to explain how genetically modified plants such as “frog” rhododendrons will interact with the environment. Will they become invasive species? Will it cause harm through cross-mating with pollen from other species? Scientists still cannot answer these questions. Other scientists plan to change the appearance and taste of the garden by decorating the colors and aromas of the flowers.
