Breakthrough on blue rose blooms from Melbourne lab
Melbourne scientists isolate a blue-pigment gene from petunia, enabling future blue roses. Calgene Pacific and Suntory aim to introduce the blue gene into roses by 1993 with trials likely in 1993 and a high end, exclusive market strategy targeting Japan.

Amazing grain corn sparks uses beyond dinner table
Scientists and farmers call corn home grown gold as biotechnologists map its chromosomes to boost yields and strength. Researchers from USDA ARS and the University of Missouri study gene locations to breed tougher stalks, while biotech firms test corn for high quality oil and new plastics. Monsanto tests a Bacillus thuringiensis gene in corn to combat pests like the European corn borer as USDA peers pursue controlled release pesticides and biodegradable plastics from corn starch.
