Scientists Bring Back 144-Year-Old Super-Seeds That Could Save The World

#shorts #seeds #hybrid plant #Verbascum genus #experiment 144 years ago, botanist William J. Beal buried 20 glass pint bottles filled with 50 seeds in sand. Scientists at the same university resurrected those seeds and found a hybrid plant, likely not meant to be a part of the experiment. The team has since sequenced the DNA of the seeds and identified the plant types. They suspected a hybrid had been included in the experiment by mistake, and after sequencing they found that their hunch was right. The experiment is set to end in 2100, but this may have to be extended if the seeds continue to show that they are viable.
