Scientists have developed a gene-edited banana that resists browning, which could potentially cut food waste. The new bananas are expected to have a longer shelf life, with some reports suggesting they may be available in stores soon. It is unclear when or if the gene-edited bananas will be widely available, but they are among the first genetically modified fruits that may be consumed by the public.
