Sorry, didn't see the existing thread.

Scientists find gold growing in trees in Australia - CNN.com

I don't know if genetically engineered plants will ever be a cost-effective means to "harvest" gold, but they definitely have potential as a "green" means to measure the gold content deep beneath the surface. It could be even more handy in marine environments.
