The return of some extinct plants since thousands of years to exist again??


The return of some extinct plants since thousands of years to exist again??



Reports indicate modern environmental that the rate of extinction and declining plant and animal species which witnessed our planet did not get in the ground for five and sixty million years, while the extinct dinosaurs, unfortunately, at this rate we may be approaching extinction in a mass similar to what happened before, and, if not halt the decline made in the current environment, the world will lose forever and about fifty-five percent of the organisms during a period ranging between fifty and a hundred years from now.
  Over the next thirty years, scientists expect the extinction of nearly a quarter of known mammals and ten species of birds and a large proportion of plants as a result of environmental pollution and climate change and the steady loss of these organisms important natural habitats.

In a positive step enables some agricultural scientists to re-plant some of these extinct thousands of years ago through biotechnology agriculture, textile and building on its small parts were deep-seated since ancient times???

 


Announced a few days ago for Scientists in Russia grow plants from fruit stored squirrels in the ice about 30,000 years ago.
 I have found this fruit Dvav the Kolyma River in Siberia, one of the leading sites for those who are looking for the bones of giant animals.

We have a team from the Institute of Physiology of cells to take plants "Celine Stnovila" of fruit. Scientists have noted in a paper published in the journal "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences" that this is the oldest plants cultivated again.

Prior to that, was the oldest plant is Astenbath again are the seeds of palm trees preserved for 2000 years in Palestine.
The lead researcher Professor David Galichnski died a few days before the publication of his research.

And speaks for, researchers found about 70 Gehra the squirrels on the bank of the river. They said that all the burrows, which they found was at a depth of between 20 to 40 meters and are found in the layers containing the bones of large mammals such as mammoths, rhinoceros, deer and horses.
It seems that the squirrels and set fruit in most parts cooler burrows, were frozen permanently after that, perhaps due to the cold climate in this region. And failed attempts to team to grow the seeds mature. But finally achieved success when they use "fabric placental" inside the fruit
And the attached head of conservation and technical Millennium Seed Bank in Britain by Robert Rubin: "I was not surprised because it was possible to find an ancient living material such as this, and this is exactly what we are looking for. But the surprise we found a viable material of the placental tissue and not from mature seeds. "

The theory focuses on the Russian team that tissue cells are full of sugar which represents the food of plants cultivated. The sugar of conservation materials, and conduct studies on its use as a means to keep the vaccine in a warm climate in Africa without the need for cooling devices.

So perhaps the sugar-rich cells able to survive in the form of a viable throughout this long period.
And grow plants, "Celine Stnovila" in the Siberian plain. The researchers found a clear difference in the form of petals and sex of the flowers of modern plants and those that Astneptt of old fruit, but were unable to determine the obvious reasons behind it.



Scientists say that this kind of research can help in studies of the evolution. They also shed light on the environmental conditions over thousands of years ago.

Perhaps the most attractive proposal that may be used the same techniques for the cultivation of plants extinct at this time if the ground squirrels in the Arctic or some other animal had stockpiled fruit and seeds.
According to Dr. Robert: "We expect that the seeds viable for thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of years, but I do not think anyone expected survival of hundreds of thousands of years."

He adds: "There is an opportunity for the cultivation of plants have become extinct in the same way we talk about re-giant animals to life."
