Scientists genetically modify rare fruit

The video discusses the genetic modification of ground cherries to increase their size and ease of cultivation. Found in South and Central America, these small fruits have been enhanced using CRISPR technology by targeting the Clavada 1 gene, resulting in a 25% increase in weight. Future plans include editing the self-pruning gene to control plant growth after fruit ripening.
