It was reported this week that Brazilian scientists are hoping to create spicy tomatoes using Crispr gene-editing techniques. Although tomatoes contain the genes for capsaicinoids (the chemicals that give chillies their heat) they are dormant – Crispr could be used to make them active. This is desirable because, compared to tomatoes, chillies are d...
Genetically edited bananas could be resistant to a disease known as “fusarium wilt”that has been attacking plantations across the globe. Researchers at the Norwich-based startup Tropic Biosciences are using gene-editing techniques to develop a new, more resilient version of the fruit after securing £7.5m from investors.
Sweeter and even peach-flavoured strawberries are being worked on by US scientists using Crispr techniques. Due to an EU court ruling last year, Crispr-edited foods will be subject to the same regulation that has limited the planting and sale of genetically modified crops. A major player in the development of Crispr crops is the agricultural giant ...
The Arctic apple is a fruit engineered to resist browning after being cut. Currently they are only available in the US – in golden, fuji and gala varieties – where they have been given Food and Drug Administration approval. If approved in Europe, they would have to be labelled as genetically modified. The manufacturers claim the main benefit is to ...
The scientist Dennis Gonsalves developed the genetically modified Rainbow papaya, which can defend itself from papaya ring spot disease by inserting a gene from the virus into the fruit’s genetic code. The Rainbow papaya was introduced in 1992, and is credited with saving Hawaii’s $11m papaya industry.

That's why, in a new report, we take a close look at evidence surrounding genetically modified organisms, or GMOs. (See, " GMO Foods & Children's Health: AAP Examines Benefits, Risks & Unknowns .") Here's what we know about how foods and drinks with GMOs may affect your child's health.
Dec 11, 2023 · The American Academy of Pediatrics analyzes the use of genetically modified organism (GMO)-based foods and their effect on children’s health in a new clinical report that urges more research and transparency in labeling to help families make informed decisions when shopping for food.

Jan 9, 2018 · January 9, 2018. Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) can be a frightening concept at first glance. Different groups constantly bombard us with contrasting evaluations, claiming GMOS are either our salvation, or the end of days. How do GMOs fit - really - into the ever-evolving worlds of science, nutrition, and sustainability?
Jul 1, 2020 · •. Parents shape their children’s conceptions of GMOs, despite knowing little about them. Abstract. Studies indicate that Genetically Modified Organisms, or GMOs, are safe to consume, but many adults remain skeptical. What kind of input are children receiving about GMOs? And how does that input shape their understanding of what GMOs are?
