Inspired by a wrong answer given by rr (rhoitrau) to this question. You get the GQHero trophy: , nevertheless! :)

What are these genetically modified plants capable of detecting?

They turn red when they “detect” something.

Answer:

These GM plants detect NO2 which generally seeps into the soil from land-mines, thus acting as a land-mine detector!

    Red when they detect NO2, which frequently leaches into soil from landmines.

    thale-cress which detects land mines

    Landmines , when roots of these GMO flowers hit nitrogen dioxide (which leaches into the soil from buried land mines), the plant changes .

    Land mines

    When the roots of hit nitrogen dioxide (which leaches into the soil from buried land mines), the plant changes color.

    Land mine detecting plants

    these so called bio-sensors developed by Aresa turn red when they detect nitrogen-dioxide in the soil. quoting:
    “The explosive inside the landmine contains material that releases NO2 (Nitrogen dioxide) when it has been in the ground for a period of time.

    The NO2 moves through the soil and is absorbed by the mine plant, where it starts the production of a red compound. This causes the leaves of the plant to turn red.”

    Soil water ?

    Tobacco plants sensing land mines?

    they are used in Landmine detection.

    They turn red when they detect landmines!


  24. Logik Says:

    It detects landmines. But how do you plant it?


  25. Aditya Says:

    Landmines. Technically, oxides of Nitrogen. Go red when detect them.

    Also, why aren’t you updating the scores? Please do so quickly! I have never performed so well on Boiledbeans since I joined in 2007!
