30000 year old plant regenerated


It was an Ice Age squirrel’s treasure chamber, a burrow containing fruit and seeds that had been stuck in the Siberian permafrost for over 30,000 years. From the fruit tissues, a team of Russian scientists managed to resurrect an entire plant in a pioneering experiment that paves the way for the revival of other species.

The Russian research team recovered the fruit after investigating dozens of fossil burrows hidden in ice deposits on the right bank of the lower Kolyma River in northeastern Siberia, the sediments dating back 30,000-32,000 years.

Grow a Green Curtain to Cut Down on Cooling Costs


Across Japan, the Kyocera company has been experimenting with growing huge leaning trellises for food bearing plants, positioned to share the sides and windows of their buildings. They've radically lowered their energy bills—the wall beneath a trellis is, on average, 15 degrees cooler—and even started harvesting the fruit and vegetables from the trellises to use in the cafeteria so employees can enjoy fresh produce grown on site.
