Researchers May Be On The Verge Of Developing Bunched And Compacted Crop/Fruit That Mature Quickly And Can Be Grown In Urban Environments Or Places Not Suitable For Plant Growth. Scientists Hope To Accomplish This Via Gene Editing Of Crops, Like Tomatoes, So That They Look Like A Bouquet But With Roses Replaced By Fruits. Cool!

Farmers could soon be growing tomatoes bunched like grapes in a storage unit, on the roof of a skyscraper, or even in space. That’s if a clutch of new gene-edited crops prove as fruitful as the first batch. The primary goal of this new research is to engineer a wider variety of crops that can…
