Cover: Caiping Ma, faculty research assistant with the Tree Genetic Engineering Research Cooperative, with genetically engineered tobacco plants. Left, a 10-micron (1/100,000 of a meter) slice of poplar floral tissue; the light heart-shaped patch at upper right shows where a floral gene is being expressed. This page, upper left: a flower from a genetically altered Arabidopsis thaliana, a fast-flowering plant used, like tobacco, to test genetic engineering of sterility.
