Dead for 32,000 years, arctic plant is revived

The New York Times reports:

Living plants have been generated from the fruit of a little arctic flower that died 32,000 years ago, a team of Russian scientists reports. The fruit was stored by an arctic ground squirrel in its burrow on the tundra of northeastern Siberia and lay permanently frozen until excavated by scientists a few years ago.
