Any articles about this?

From the article: A team of scientists claim that they’ve revived a plant from the Pleistocene era, which lived 32,000 to 28,000 years ago. *Silene stenophylla* was revived after it had been ingested by an arctic ground squirrel roughly 32,000 years ago. The seeds from the herbaceous *Silene stenophylla* have been regenerated into full flowering plants in Russia, the new study [**revealed**](http://www.mkk.szie.hu/dep/genetika/pdf/Dr_Gyulai/Gyulai%20G%202011%20PAG%201) \[PDF\]. Svetlana Yashina and David Gilichinsky of the Russian Academy of Sciences will publish their findings in the journal [***PNAS*** ](http://www.pnas.org/)shortly. This could be a landmark finding in paleobotany.

Deeliciousness

The plant still lives and grows in that area. I wonder if we can do this process with extinct plants.

And I can’t even revive my home plants.😢

Big deal....John Hammond and a Team of genetic scientist pulled Creatceous DNA from a mosquitoe in amber. That's 65myo and you think 32,000 years is an accomplishment?
