It's to make the plants frost-resistant -- flounder have genes that keep
them going in cold temps that would freeze (literally! ;-)) anything else.

It's the glow thing -- just too cool not to play with! ;-)

I *like* that idea -- just think -- you'd never have to add amendments
because the tomato would grab all the nutrients it needed on its own!
The problem with the Biotech industry is that they've concentrated too much
on grabbing market share and not enough time on making "products" that would
placate us organic growers! ;-D
