		FLATOW: It's in the interest of lawyers sometimes to bend the science, to use the science to contradict the science.
		FLATOW: Well, that was certainly evident in the O.J. trial, when they spent days trying to explain DNA fingerprinting and it was more an effort to confuse the jury, the way that I looked at it, than to make them take a postgraduate course in DNA analysis.
		FLATOW: But are you ever asked to testify about things you don't have any expertise on, and then here's a scientist sitting in the dock, talking.

	Analysis: Genetically Modified Salt-Tolerant Tomato
		FLATOW: So the plant is genetically engineered to take the salty part of the water and store it in the leaves, let's say, so it doesn't get into the tomato fruit itself.
		For example, we now engineer canola that produce oil seeds to grow in 40 percent seawater, and we can tell you already that the number of seeds per plant is exactly the same when it grows in 200 milliwater(ph) sodium chloride or in no sodium and the quality of the oil is the same.
		FLATOW: Dr. Eduardo Blumwald is professor of cell biology in the Department of Pomology at the University/California-Davis, UC-Davis, and he joined us by phone from his office talking about some salt-tolerant plants that he helped develop in his laboratory.
