Your concerns for my apparent sanity are much appreciated, but the bit of research I noted was concerned with what appeared to be a bit of DNA from an mammal managing to migrate into the plant cells and alter the appearance of the adult plant.

I think it was mentioned in a radio program where somone was explaining using viruses to introduce DNA into Human cells where there is a defective gene. When challenege about the effectiveness of the process the theory about the red colour was quoted.

When it comes to managing to reproduce itself DNA is pretty much the one that wrote the book.

The feature which makes butanol so interesting is that it can be mixed into petrol and the average car engine of today will burn it without any major alteration - a slight adjustment in the mixture within normal tolerences maybe - but there is no significant cost to begin to use it.
