20 hours ago · Using DNA from tangerines and tobacco, food scientists have made a familiar fruit tastier—and more Instagrammable—than ever. We looked into pink pineapples so you don’t have to.
5 days ago · In this Q&A, Carbon Brief looks at the difference between GMOs and gene-edited foods and whether these technologies can help crops deal with climate change while boosting food security.
1 day ago · Genetically modified organism, organism whose genome has been engineered in the laboratory in order to favor the expression of desired physiological traits or the generation of desired biological products. Learn more about the development and uses of genetically modified organisms in this article.

20 hours ago · Molecular farming represents a significant advancement in this field, involving the use of genetic engineering to insert genes that code for useful proteins into host plants, creating genetically modified organisms (GMOs). This method allows plants to produce high-value proteins and chemicals, which are typically difficult or expensive to manufacture by conventional means.
2 days ago · The safety of Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) has been controversial for many years. Critics believe GMOs are unsafe and could have adverse health effects, while others argue they are safe and can help ensure greater global food security.
