US: GM 'Arctic' apples nearly ripe for approval

摘要

US consumers will soon be able to purchase genetically modified (GM) apples that have been designed to prevent browning and bruising if an imminent regulatory decision brings commercial approval. Canadian company Okanagan Specialty Fruits (OSF - Summerland), the developer of the "Arctic apple", says that the genetic modification would lower the cost of producing fresh slices and make apples more popular in salads and other quick meals.
