US Approves Purple Tomatoes With Changed DNA
The US government has approved a new purple tomato for growing and selling in the US. The special kind of tomato was created by making changes to its DNA. The creators say the tomatoes will last longer and could help make people healthier.
British scientist Cathie Martin has been working on developing purple tomatoes for years.
Though the color is unusual, what’s really special about the tomatoes is that they have very high levels of antioxidants.
Antioxidants are found naturally in plants like blueberries, blackberries, and red cabbage.
Scientists believe antioxidants may help prevent heart disease and help fight against diseases like diabetes.
But tomatoes naturally only have a small amount of antioxidants in them.
Dr. Martin wanted to see if she could create tomatoes with lots of antioxidants by changing the DNA of a tomato plant.
DNA is a tiny collection of information and instructions stored in a chemical form. Just like computer code tells a computer what to do, DNA tells cells, the building blocks of living things, what to do. Every living thing has DNA that causes it to grow in a certain way.

Small bits of DNA, called “genes”, work to control different parts of how a living thing grows.
For example, humans have genes that control eye color.

Scientists believe antioxidants may improve human health.
Antioxidants are found naturally in plants like blueberries and blackberries. By changing the DNA of a tomato plant, Dr. Martin created tomatoes with antioxidants all through them – not just in the skin.
Dr. Martin’s experiment worked. She added two genes from a plant called a “snapdragon”.
Soon her plants were producing small purple tomatoes with lots of antioxidants.
Even better, the tomatoes remained fresh almost twice as long as normal tomatoes. Soon, Dr. Martin and other scientists created a company to promote the tomatoes.
GMO purple tomatoes engineered by Norfolk Plant Sciences mixed in with conventional cherry tomatoes.
On September 7, the USDA approved the purple tomatoes. Dr. Martin says it’s the first time the USDA has approved a GMO plant designed to target human health.
Dr. Martin and her company plan to introduce the tomatoes at farmers markets across the US in 2023. They also hope to sell the seeds to people who want to grow their own.
