Researchers from Uppsala University in Sweden have now demonstrated that plasmid-based methods, which had been limited to single-cell organisms such as bacteria and yeasts, can be extended to mosses, opening the door to applications of a number of powerful techniques in plant research.
Leo Kim quotes from a well known astrophysicist Sir Fred Hoyle who likened the probability of the emergence of a single-cell organism to the likelihood of a 747 self constructing itself as a result of a tornado hitting a scrap yard.
