Scientists are genetically modifying strawberries

in order to allowthem to resist freezing

temperatures better. They're doing it by

artificial transfer of genes from a species of fish

called the ArcticFlounder Fish. The Arctic

Flounder Fish produces an anti-freeze that

allows it to protect himself in freezing waters.

They isolated the gene that produces this anti-

freeze and introduced itto the strawberry. The

result is a strawberry that looks blue and

doesn't turn to mush or degrade after being

placed in the freezer. While

they're not in production, research is ongoing.

Would you eat blue strawberries?
