The company is already developing an enormous pipeline of new crops customized for higher yields; longer shelf life; better resistance to heat, droughts, storms, pests, or diseases; the ability to grow in different regions or seasons or soils; and various combinations of those desirable traits. It has raised more than $160 million, and ever since its short-lived experiment with non-bitter greens, it has focused on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/gene-edited-salad-greens-fall-pairwise-bayer-crispr-gmo\/\" class=\"text link\">licensing its technology<\/a> rather than building its own brands. It now has working partnerships with the Big Ag giants Bayer and Corteva, the food companies Mars and Sun World, and an array of universities and other research institutions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Just as an electric vehicle doesn\u2019t have to look like a conventional car thanks to a small engine, Crispr has the potential to transform food and farms in unexpected ways. When I visited Pairwise headquarters in Durham in May, I got to see one of the world\u2019s first cherry bushes. Its appearance surely would have confused George Washington, but Pairwise envisions a future where it can help growers produce more fruit with less land compared to standard cherry trees, and will also make it easier to spray and harvest with machines. Pairwise chief executive officer Tom Adams told me that ordinary-looking bush could be the first step towards a more sustainable and economical form of orchard for all kinds of fruit, because the trait that got tweaked isn\u2019t only found in cherries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">\u201cIt\u2019s exciting how one change can fundamentally transform how a food is grown,\u201d said Adams, who oversaw Monsanto\u2019s biotechnology work before it became part of Bayer. \u201cThen we can make more changes that make the food even better. Then we can make similar changes with other foods.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"GenericCalloutWrapper-loJzHJ chjIHc callout--has-top-border\" data-testid=\"GenericCallout\">\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-iJvQnD cOWUYC asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-fnduJP iaVSwI asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-kFnjvc eKnjjD responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-gaAbQ hXaxHA asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"ResponsiveImagePicture-jKunQM gjCCFj AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-gaAbQ hXaxHA asset-embed__responsive-asset responsive-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Image may contain Berry Food Fruit Plant Produce Blackberry and Person\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-dkeESL cQPiWi responsive-image__image\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/6a75bce69dcba9871de6a75e\/master\/w_120,c_limit\/Hands%20Berries.jpg 120w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/6a75bce69dcba9871de6a75e\/master\/w_240,c_limit\/Hands%20Berries.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/6a75bce69dcba9871de6a75e\/master\/w_320,c_limit\/Hands%20Berries.jpg 320w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/6a75bce69dcba9871de6a75e\/master\/w_640,c_limit\/Hands%20Berries.jpg 640w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/6a75bce69dcba9871de6a75e\/master\/w_768,c_limit\/Hands%20Berries.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/6a75bce69dcba9871de6a75e\/master\/w_960,c_limit\/Hands%20Berries.jpg 960w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/6a75bce69dcba9871de6a75e\/master\/w_1280,c_limit\/Hands%20Berries.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/6a75bce69dcba9871de6a75e\/master\/w_1600,c_limit\/Hands%20Berries.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"100vw\" src=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/6a75bce69dcba9871de6a75e\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/Hands%2520Berries.jpg\"\/><\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"BaseText-fEwdHD CaptionCredit-cUgOGk fSrqtv hRFzlA caption__credit\">Courtesy of Joe Atlas\/Pairwise<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"paywall\"><span class=\"lead-in-text-callout\">Humans have been<\/span> breeding crops for as long as they\u2019ve been growing them, initially by selecting seeds from high-performing plants, later by crossing varieties to combine high-performance traits. That\u2019s how barely edible grasses became corn, a single wild mustard species became broccoli, cauliflower and kale, and tomatoes expanded from berry size to baseball size.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">But even after the introduction of GMO crops in the late 20th century, breeding has remained a painfully slow and frustratingly random process, relying on unpredictable mutations and inevitable trade-offs. Corn has 40,000 different genes, so mixing and matching plants creates almost infinite variables. If you breed fruit that takes longer to spoil, it might lose flavor or yield; if you breed rice that needs less water, it might need more fertilizer. It can take a generation to develop and test a new variety.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/seedless-blackberries-cherry-bushes-future-of-food\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cHistorically, there\u2019s been so much pushback against genetic engineering in agriculture,\u201d says Julius Beau Lucks, the codirector of Northwestern University\u2019s Center for Synthetic Biology.
