美国科学家们相信他们已经发现了创造新的生命形式的方法。他们的研究是用植物进行的。科学家用一种工作起来有点儿象枪的工具,它能把一种植物的遗传物质发射进入到另一种植物细胞中,这种外来的基因能使细胞产生以前不能产生的化学物质。这项技术目前正在由纽约州的托马斯、克莱恩和其他科学家发展使用。他们在英国的出版物《自然》上报导了他们的一些发现。克莱恩博士描述了这项技术的操作。将取自一种植物的遗传物质与水和一些小铁球相混,每个球 American scientists believe they have discovered ways to create new forms of life. Their research is done with plants. Scientists use a tool that works a bit like a gun, which emits a plant's genetic material into another plant cell, a foreign gene that enables cells to produce chemicals that they could not produce before. The technology is currently being developed by Thomas, Kline and other scientists in New York State. They reported some of their findings in the British publication Nature. Dr. Klein described the operation of this technique. Will be taken from a plant genetic material mixed with water and some small iron ball, each ball
