File Transgenic hydra endo.gif thumb upright 2.0 Green fluorescent protein GFP marked endodermal epithelial cells in Hydra genus Hydra Cnidarians such as Hydra genus Hydra have become attractive model organisms to study the evolution of Immunity medical immunity . However, despite long term efforts, stably transgenic animals could not be generated, severely limiting the functional analysis of gene s. For analytical purposes, therefore, an important technical breakthrough in the field was the development of a transgenic procedure for generation of stably transgenic lines by embryo microinjection . Uses Hydra polyps are small and transparent which makes it possible to trace single cells in vivo . In addition, transgenic Hydra provide a ready system for generating gain of function phenotypes. With the use of transgenes producing dominant negative versions of protein s, one should be able to obtain loss of function phenotypes as well. Current technology allows generation of reporter constructs using promoters of various Hydra genes fused to fluorescent proteins. Since transgenic Hydra lines have become an important tool to dissect molecular mechanisms of development, a Hydra Transgenic Facility has been established at the Christian Albrechts University of Kiel Germany .

The Plant is an unfinished serial novel published in 2000 as an e book by United States American author Stephen King . The novel is about an editor in a paperback publishing house who gets a manuscript from what appears to be a crackpot. The manuscript is about magic, but it also contains photographs that seem very real. The editor writes the author a rejection slip, but because of the photographs, he also notifies the police where the author lives. This enrages the author, who sends a mysterious plant to the editor s office. The story is told in Epistolary novel epistolary format , consisting entirely of letters, memos and correspondence. History King wrote a few parts of a story by the same name and sent them out as chapbook s to his friends, instead of Christmas card s, in 1982, 1983 and 1985. Just three installments were produced by Stephen King Philtrum Press Philtrum Press before the story was shelved, and the original editions have been hotly sought after collector s items.
