Tridge summary

The article highlights the development of gene-edited iris, rice, soybeans, and cowpeas with specific traits such as reduced mustard oil, fiber, and glucosinolate in seeds, increased protein content, increased oleic acid and decreased linoleic acid in seeds, shorter growth period, increased seed size and quantity, increased root nodules, and early flowering. The US Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has lifted its control on these gene-edited plants, as they pose less risk of plant diseases and pests than non-regulated products. However, these plants are still regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Food and Drug Administration.

Among them, two gene-edited iris were developed by CoverCress of the United States, which have the characteristics of reducing the content of mustard oil, fiber and glucosinolate in seeds. One gene-edited rice was developed by Hjelle Advisors of the United States, which has the characteristics of increasing the protein content in seeds. One gene-edited soybean was developed by Toolgen of South Korea, which has the characteristics of increasing the oleic acid content in seeds and reducing the linoleic acid content. The other two gene-edited soybeans were developed by Inari of the United States, which have the characteristics of shortening the growth period, increasing the size and quantity of seeds, and increasing root nodules. One gene-edited cowpea was developed by Better Seeds of Israel, which has the characteristics of early flowering. APHIS believes ...
