Scientists discover genetic 'toggle switch' that could transform how we grow food: 'The applications for this breakthrough are nearly endless'

Researchers at Colorado State University have developed a genetic "toggle switch" to help them control plants in ways that could transform our food supply. Growing crops has become more difficult in a world impacted by unpredictable weather. But with some genetic modifications, fruits, vegetables, and other plants may be able to adapt, making it easier to get food onto your table. Genetically modifying living organisms is no easy feat, especiall…
