Genetically modified tomato
Genetically modified tomato. Conceptual computer artwork of a tomato in front of a computer screen and a helix of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). This represents the genetic modification of food crops. Genetically modified (GM) tomatoes are available in some countries. Genetic modification is where an organisms DNA is altered to create inherited changes in that organism. The changes can include improved shelf-life and resistance to disease. The structure of DNA is a double helix held together by cross-linking struts called nucleotide bases. The sequence of these bases is the genetic code that determines inherited characteristics

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the fascinating world of genetic modification in food crops. In this conceptual computer artwork, a genetically modified tomato takes center stage, positioned in front of a computer screen adorned with a mesmerizing helix of DNA. This symbolic representation epitomizes the cutting-edge technology and artificial engineering involved in tailoring crops to meet specific needs. Genetic modification involves altering an organism's DNA to introduce inherited changes, such as improved shelf-life and disease resistance. The double helix structure of DNA is beautifully illustrated here, held together by cross-linking struts known as nucleotide bases. These bases form the genetic code that determines an organism's inherited characteristics. The genetically modified tomato featured in this image represents the incredible advancements made possible through molecular engineering and bio-technology. While GM tomatoes are available in select countries, it is important to note that this particular image does not endorse any commercial use. Science Photo Library has expertly captured the essence of genetic modification through this thought-provoking illustration. It serves as a reminder of our ability to manipulate nature for our benefit while raising questions about ethics and potential consequences associated with these scientific endeavors.
