GMO tomatoes. NO THANKS. I will tend my 30 heirloom plants in my greenhouse until they turn bright red and enjoy.

No worries:
Lab members are making their new cultivars the old-fashioned way, by collecting pollen from one flower and manually putting it on a flower from a different plant.
The idea seems to be to use in info from the genome, but to eschew gene splicing. Should be fine.
