Among them, the gene-edited almond was developed by Ohalo Genetics in the United States, and the self-compatibility of the pistil and pollen was reduced or lost, thereby improving the self-compatibility; the genetically modified tomato was developed by Norfolk Plant Sciences in the United States, and the content of polyphenol compounds in tomato fruits was increased by expressing the Myb12 transcription factor; the genetically modified corn was developed by Greenlab in the United States, and the endoglucanase content was increased and the glufosinate-ammonium resistance was increased by expressing the endoglucanase gene and the bar/PAT gene.
