Pink water, green plants, and pink elephants. Tobacco has been engineered with a bacterial nitroreductase that facilitates degradation of trinitrotoluene
Article Abstract:
Tobacco plants that have been genetically modified with a bacterial nitroreductase gene have shown promise in bioremediation of in situ trinitrotoluene (TNT). Similarly modified plants could also be used to clean up toxic cites.
