On October 29, 2024, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced the deregulation of one gene-edited almond, one genetically modified tomato, and one genetically modified corn. Among them, the gene-edited almond was developed by Ohalo Genetics in the United States, and the self-compatibility of the pistil and pollen was reduced or lost, thereby improving the self-compatibility; the genetically modified tomato was developed by Norfolk Plant Sciences in the United States, and the content of polyphenol compounds in tomato fruits was increased by expressing the Myb12 transcription factor; the genetically modified corn was developed by Greenlab in the United States, and the endoglucanase content was increased and the glufosinate-ammonium resistance was increased by expressing the endoglucanase gene and the bar/PAT gene. APHIS believes through risk assessment that the above gene-edited/transgenic plants are unlikely to cause higher risks of plant diseases and insect pests than non-regulated similar products. Therefore, APHIS deregulates them, but they are still regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Food and Drug Administration.
