In tests, INTA researchers showed that the non-browning gene edited potato can spend up to 48 hours exposed to air without darkening, a state that conventional potatoes reach in just a few minutes. Latinoamérica tiene su primera papa mejorada con CRISPR agrobio.org/noticias/papa-ed…

Papa editada con CRISPR hecha en Latinoamérica | Agro-Bio

La papa editada fue mejorada mediante la técnica de edición genética CRISPR para retardar su oxidación o pardeamiento, un desarrollo que impactaría positivamente la industria de la región.

An interesting update to look at. eu.usatoday.com/story/news/n…

Robot farmers? Machines are crawling through America's fields. And some have lasers.

Robots using machine learning are being deployed in the nation’s fields. Many experts are optimistic.
