This plant is not genetically modified, but naturally formed by grafting → plant cell body hybridization. This plant can produce more than 500 cherry tomatoes and some potatoes. These crops will be sold in Britain, and breeders are considering commercializing them.
This project started 15 years ago, when a company named Thompson &; ? Paul Hansard, chief agricultural technician of Morgan Horticulture Company, is visiting the United States. He saw potato plants growing under tomato plants in America, and later he knew that the two plants could be grafted together because they belonged to the same family.
