Is it true that they made genetic modifyed grass which doesnt grow bigger than 3 centimeters?
Question:If it is true, grass like that doesn't have to be mowed aver.
Answers:
yes it is true, actually, it is bit longer than that, but not much.
Scotts Company in Marysville, Ohio developed the grass.
It is a variety of Zoysia. I have seen it personally at a flower expo and was fascinated. I asked a bunch of questions about availability, but only got evasive and vague answers.
It grows to 2.5 inches only.
Yes they did. They use it at commercial sites.
Unfortunately, they toked it and it will never be again! :"(
they did create a new strand that is greener than usual, dosent require as much watering and grow very slowly. it will grow long though if left alone
it wouldnt be suprising, that could be done with selective breeding and not just genetic modification
This is the first I've heard about it, but it is definitely possible. It's actually pretty simple to create a new genetically modified plant. The hardest part is using the right enzymes to break up the plant DNA at the right points.
Basically what they do is break up the DNA with certain enzymes. After they make enough of it they color it with a methyl blue dye and load it into a 22 shell. The bullet gets fired at a piece of leaf and the parts of the leaf where the new genetically altered DNA is implanted is colored blue. Those blue sections are cut out and placed in an agar gel and grown from those bits of leaf sections into full grown plants. Seed is collected from the full grown plants and WALLAH! you have a new genetically engineered species.
Like some of the other people said, I don't think that it is grass where it never has to be mowed. But I think it is probably grass that grows very slowly so you have to mow less often.
yes texas a&m has developed a grass does not as much water ,and only needs to be mowed twice a year. they use it a lot on golf coarses.
