Abstract

"News & Issues" piece on University of Southern Maine professor Thomas Knight's research, which has the potential to curb global warming and transform the debate over genetic engineering (GE). By genetically manipulating root and leaf material, Knight has been able to increase nitrogen metabolism in the leaves while decreasing it in the roots. But anti-GE food activists say possible environmental benefits of new GE techniques don't negate the need for close examination.
