Scientists Use CRISPR to Reduce Histamine in Tomatoes |
|
|
|
Experts from Chonnam National University have developed a new way to reduce histamine levels in tomatoes using CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing. Histamine, a compound that can trigger adverse reactions in sensitive individuals, is found at relatively high levels in tomatoes. In this study, the researchers modified specific genes linked to histamine production during fruit ripening.

Research Finds Genetically Modified Feed Safe for Livestock |
|
|
|
Researchers from Arba-Minch University and Borena University in Ethiopia evaluated the effects of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) used as livestock feed. GM crops have been widely adopted to improve traits such as yield, nutrition, and resistance to diseases and pests. The study, published in the Journal of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Health, highlighted both the benefits and ongoing concerns associated with the use of GMOs as livestock feed.
