In the next few weeks, scientists plan to spray young plants in a northern California potato field with bacteria modified by the powerful tools of gene splicing. The aim is to help protect the potato plants against injury by frost.

Genetically modified bacteria were the first organisms to be modified in the laboratory, due to their simple genetics. These organisms are now used for several purposes, and are particularly important in producing large amounts of pure human proteins for use in medicine.[

Scientists have attempted to solve this problem in a variety of ways, including the creation of bacteria that depend on nutrients they can’t make themselves. But these bacteria might survive in the wild by receiving those nutrients from natural organisms.
