plant that can grow up to eight metres, compared to a normal size of 1.5 metres. It also has around 120 leaves, compared to 20 in a normal variety.
Researchers said the discovery creates a new approach to farming and is an alternative to Genetically Modified (GM) foods and traditional methods of improving crop varieties. The chemical engineering potential of the findings earned the researchers a Highly Commended at the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) Annual Awards for Innovation and
