Danish scientists research mine detection of transgenic plants

Danish scientists changed the gene of Arabidopsis thaliana to make it a "pointer" for mine detection. If there is a mine in the nearby soil, the transgenic plant will change from green to red. With the help of aircraft inspections, this color change can be observed without risk, thus discovering landmines. The German "Le Monde" recently reported that the study was done by scientists from institutions such as the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. This Arabidopsis thaliana contains a gene that normally does not function until autumn and leaves the plant leaves bright red. Scientists have genetically engineered the plant to make this discoloration gene “on” when it encounters nitrogen dioxide. Most traditional explosives release at least a small amount of nitrogen dioxide, and transgenic Arabidopsis can sense the presence of this gas through the roots. According to reports, experiments conducted by the Danish military confirmed that this transgenic Arabidopsis can effectively detect landmines. Experiments have shown that after 3 to 5 weeks, the color of transgenic Arabidopsis will change due to the presence of mines. However, some other experts also pointed out that the root of Arabidopsis thaliana is not deep enough into the soil, so this method can only find landmines near the surface. In addition, it is still unclear whether this European native Arabidopsis thrives under the climatic conditions of other regions.

Adult Brief

Adult briefs are a type of absorbent underwear designed for individuals who experience incontinence or bladder control problems. They are similar to diapers but are designed for adults and come in a range of sizes and absorbency levels. Adult briefs can be disposable or reusable, and they are typically made of materials that wick away moisture to keep the skin dry and prevent skin irritation. They can be worn during the day or at night, and they provide a discreet and comfortable solution for individuals who experience incontinence.
