This genetically engineered houseplant does the air-purifying work of 30 plants

This article discusses a genetically modified houseplant that has been engineered to be an effective air purifier. The plant, called Pothos ivy, has been modified to express a protein that helps break down harmful airborne pollutants commonly found in indoor environments, such as formaldehyde and benzene. The article explains how the genetic modification was achieved using a gene from a rabbit liver. It also highlights the potential benefits of using genetically modified plants as a sustainable and natural solution for air purification in homes and buildings. The article concludes by discussing the future implications of this technology and the need for further research and development.
