For the first time ever,probably, plants modified with the "genetic scissors" CRISPR-Cas9 have been cultivated, or harvested and cooked. Stefan Jansson,professor in Plant Cell and Molecular Biology at UmeƄ University, served pasta with "CRISPRy" vegetable fry to a radio reporter. Although the meal only fed two people, or it was still the first step toward a future when science can better provide farmers and consumers around the world with healthy,delicate and hardy plants.
