Research: Could gene-edited wheat lead to safer food?

Scientists at Rothamsted Research have successfully developed wheat with dramatically reduced levels of asparagine, without affecting yield, using gene editing techniques. The research team has said that this offers a promising route to safer food production and improved regulatory compliance. Results from two years of field trials demonstrate that wheat produced using CRISPR genome editing […] The post Research: Could gene-edited wheat lead to safer food? appeared first on Agriland.ie.
