• Resumen

  • The article discusses the use of genetic engineering in the production of tastier fruits and vegetables, such as cantaloupes and broccoli. Topics include the creation of crops that could meet the demands of industrial agriculture, which resulted in the fruits and vegetables that often lacked flavor and nutritional value, a plant genetic engineering technique that uses DNA analysis called marker-assisted breeding, and the controversy of genetically-modified crops.
