WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A single gene mutation can re tomato plants producing super hybrid capable of generating more and sweeter fruit without genetic engineering, say scientists in a study released Sunday.

The study also showed that using classic techniques of plant breeding can boost performance so dramatically as the use of genetically modified organisms, said lead researcher Zachary Lippman of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York.

mutation in one copy of the gene increased the yield of tomatoes in up to 60 percent and increased the sugar content, Lippman and colleagues reported in Nature Genetics. “When this gene is working at only half speed (…) occurs (…) this adjusted growth that occurs throughout the plant and offered this increase in performance, “Lippman said in a telephone interview.
