I n a groundbreaking study published in the journal Nature, researchers have successfully used gene editing to create sweeter tomatoes without compromising their size or yield. By

Genetically editing sugar-regulating genes increases tomato sweetness, without affecting yield or size. The findings break a long-standing challenge in tomato breeding: balancing taste and productivity, thereby offering potential benefits for both consumers and growers.

Selection for bigger tomatoes has made the fruits less sweet, but now it has been shown that gene editing can make them sweeter without decreasing yields
