44、as.Meredith Schafer is a graduate student.They were travelling in the state of North Dakota on a project.They noticed pretty yellow flowers.They recognized them as canola.Farmers grow canola for seeds to make cooking oil.Canola is also used for animal feed and biofuel.But the canola plants they saw
45、were not growing in farm fields.They were growing along the road.The researchers decided to test the plants.They had brought along special testing papers for the project they were working on.They broke up some of the leaves in water and added the test paper.The results showed that the weedy canola p
46、lants contained genetic(基因的)changes.If a plant is genetically modified,that means its genes have been changed to produce desired qualities,which may have higher economical value.This summer,the researchers from Arkansas went back to North Dakota.This time they went on a road trip to find canola.They
47、 travelled more than 5,000 kilometers.They stopped about every eight kilometers to count plants and take samples to test in their vehicle.What they found,they say,was the first discovery in the United States of wild canola plants with modified genes.Meredith Schafer presented the findings at a recen
48、t meeting of the Ecological Society of America.The scientists found canola plants in almost half of the places they investigated.They tested a total of 288 plants.They found that 80% of those plants contained genes from genetically engineered canola.Some crop plants are modified to resist damage fro
49、m the chemicals that farmers spray to kill weeds.There are two proteins that can give canola the ability to resist two commonly used weed killers.One protein gives resistance against glyphosate (草甘膦).The other protein gives resistance against glufosinate (草铵膦).Two of the plants growing in the wild showed resistance to both kinds of weed killers.Professor Sagers says canola varieties with these genetic qualities have not been released on the market.This suggests the result of wild populations reproducing on their own.29What was the pur
