Answer:
Flavr Savr
Explanation:
It is a genetically modified tomato
Explanation:
genetically modified tomato, or transgenic tomato, is a tomato that has had its genes modified, using genetic engineering. The first trial genetically modified food was a tomato engineered to have a longer shelf life (the Flavr Savr), but never made it to market. The first direct consumption tomato was approved in Japan in 2021.[1] Primary work is focused on developing tomatoes with new traits like increased resistance to pests or environmental stresses.[2] Other projects aim to enrich tomatoes with substances that may offer health benefits or be more nutritious. As well as aiming to produce novel crops, scientists produce genetically modified tomatoes to understand the function of genes naturally present in tomatoes.

Wild tomatoes are small, green and largely unappetizing,[3] but after centuries of breeding there are now thousands of varieties grown worldwide.[4] Agrobacterium-mediated genetic engineering techniques were developed in the late 1980s that could successfully transfer genetic material into the nuclear genome of tomatoes.[5] Genetic material can also be inserted into a tomato cell's chloroplast and chromoplast plastomes using biolistics. Tomatoes were the first food crop with an edible fruit where this was possible.[6]
