The definition of genetically modified food is to extract the needed genes from one organism by scientific means, and then transfer them into another organism, so as to recombine with the genes of another organism, thus producing a specific species with excellent genetic traits. However, tomato was not a variety obtained by artificially changing genes, but it appeared a long time ago, but its yield was not good at that time, and it was mainly planted for ornamental purposes. Later, with the enhancement of planting technology and the increase of yield, it gradually developed into food consumption.
