Scientists are genetically modifying strawberries
in order to allowthem to resist freezing
temperatures better. They're doing it by
artificial transfer of genes from a species of fish
called the ArcticFlounder Fish. The Arctic
Flounder Fish produces an anti-freeze that
allows it to protect himself in freezing waters.
They isolated the gene that produces this anti-
freeze and introduced itto the strawberry. The
result is a strawberry that looks blue and
doesn't turn to mush or degrade after being
placed in the freezer. While
they're not in production, research is ongoing.
Would you eat blue strawberries?
