flag India launched drought- and salt-tolerant CRISPR-edited rice; UK trials gene-edited tomatoes for vitamin D.

flag In May 2025, India launched two CRISPR-edited rice varieties, RR Rice 100 and Pusa DST Rice 1, designed to withstand drought and saline soil without foreign DNA, aiming to boost food security amid climate challenges. flag Meanwhile, a human trial in England is testing whether gene-edited tomatoes, engineered to produce vitamin D when exposed to light, can improve vitamin D levels in people with deficiencies. flag The trial is part of the UK’s new Precision Breeding Act, which eases regulations for gene-edited crops. flag The Genetic Literacy Project, a nonprofit promoting science-based reporting on genetics, reaffirmed its independence and transparency amid claims it is a corporate front, citing its policies, public reports, and global regulatory map.
