Ancient plants back to life after 30,000 frozen years

Ancient plants back to life after 30,000 frozen years​

 

I saw this on the News Stream at the bottom of CNN news this morning, but only briefly. Was going to look it up but forgot about it. Thanks for posting.

 

Thanks for sharing that link, Junglekeeper. This is really fascinating, but I don't see or understand how they could propagate using the shell, or placental tissue as the article suggests. What I find even more interesting is that the scientists involved are saying there are subtle difference in Silene stenophylla found in that region today and the same plant 30K years ago. I wonder if such a plant would even survive in today's biosphere. It's cousins evolved over tens of thousands of years for reasons.
