I hope that, as we see more GM plants that are:
➡️ More nutritious
➡️ Hardier
➡️ Higher yielding
➡️ Public domain
Genetic modification will be seen as just another plant breeding tool. A very powerful one, that can be, and is often being, used for good.

This new genetically modified tomato is available to home gardeners.
It's got a snapdragon gene and is high in anthoycyanin.
TBH I don't care about the anthos (though upping nutrition is a great use for GM tech)
It's the color that gets me.

Gardeners can now grow a genetically modified purple tomato made with snapdragon DNA
The plant gets its color — and a boost in antioxidants — from genes from an edible flower. It's the first time gardeners have been able to grow a GMO crop at home.

I’m excited to be on Bluesky…hoping for amazing sharing about science and related policy (especially plants and ag) with a commitment to civility and open-mindedness. To get the ball rolling, here’s my take on the legal definition of tomato: 🧪
