Harry Klee, a professor with the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, inspects roses in a biotechnology laboratory in Gainesville (Thursday, May 11, 2006). Klee and other UF researchers believe they can improve the scent of many rose varieties using a gene discovered in tomato plants. The gene controls production of a chemical that enhances the aroma of flowers.
