Are rotten tomatoes going to be a thing of the past?
Scientists in India said they have created genetically modified tomatoes that will stay fresh a full month longer than regular tomatoes, Sky News reported.
Researchers said they modified the tomatoes by manipulating two enzymes involved in ripening the ubiquitous fruit, which allows them to extend shelf life by 30 days.
"Our strategy allows the achievement of desired texture and firmness and enhancement of shelf life without any ill effects," Dr. Asis Datta of the National Institute of Plant Genome Research in New Delhi told Sky News.
"This strategy can be extended to other fruit crops," Dr. Datta said.
