Behold The Purple Tomato, A New Designer Super Fruit

Blueberries and blackberries are loaded with antioxidants; by tweaking three genes, tomatoes can have the same benefit.

— March 02, 2022 | By Mark Wilson

Fifteen years ago, in the middle of winter, Cathie Martin was impatiently waiting for her tomatoes to ripen. The John Innes Centre botanist already knew what was going to happen: Their green skin was about to turn a miraculous purple. She’d swapped out a few genes to supercharge their anthocyanin content—the same vibrant antioxidants that give blueberries and blackberries their rich color.

“I knew it’d work,” Martin says with a cool confidence. “Well, as much as any scientist knows they will do something that will work. . . . It was really slow, and it took ages, and finally we could see this little bit of purple. It was great.”

Photo: Courtesy Cathie Martin

Now, assuming the U.S. Department of Agriculture approves their sale in the coming weeks, Martin’s tomatoes could be available for the first time—as seeds you can grow or fruit you can buy at the store. But it’s also a significant moment to reframe the way we think about genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in produce—not merely as a means to cut costs for Big Agriculture but as an opportunity to take an object that nature gave us and improve upon it, much as we would a smartphone or pair of sneakers.

Any tomato breed can be transformed into a purple tomato. And purple tomatoes taste exactly the same as their source varietal because anthocyanines are flavorless. But Martin’s research found two other interesting things. Her purple tomatoes—not to be mistaken with dark varietals like black cherry tomatoes—last roughly twice as long on the shelf as a standard tomato. And mice that ate a diet of her purple tomatoes lived 30% longer than those that ate the standard red variety. A human would need to eat the equivalent of two purple tomatoes every day to reach a similar potential benefit, yet Martin believes that’s actually more feasible than eating the alternative of two handfuls of blueberries a day. That’s because blueberries are expensive and highly seasonal, while her tomatoes could be cooked down into pasta or pizza sauce. (Yes, these tomatoes retain their captivating purplish hue when cooked).

“One [visual] trait I like very much comes from what are currently known as yellow tomatoes,” Martin says. “When the purple is mixed in, it’s a fantastic, more indigo color, a kind of bluer purple. If you were to make a bloody Mary, it would be a royal blue Bloody Mary.”

Today, GMOs are common in the American diet, but they’ve largely been crafted for corporate profit rather than consumer desire. By last count, 94% of soybeans, 94% of cotton, 92% of corn, and 95% of canola planted in the U.S. are GMO strains. The genetic tweaks improve yield and resist disease. They end up in oils, clothing, processed foods, and livestock. Some 95% of animals that provide meat and dairy in the U.S. eat GMO crops.

Beyond that, however, the list of bioengineered whole fruits and veggies approved for sale in the U.S. is scant. Monsanto, and the frozen french fry company Simplot, have created their own potatoes. Others have crafted a squash, papaya, and eggplant—all focused on resisting disease or pests. That’s it, with one exception: The Pinkglow pineapple by Del Monte Fresh. Approved for sale in 2020, Del Monte sells the product as a premium direct-to-consumer brand. You can order a single pink pineapple for your valentine for $40.

But Martin has little interest in controlling any genetic or brand IP, like Monsanto or Del Monte. In fact, her company, Norfolk Plant Sciences—founded in the U.K. alongside her colleague Jonathan Jones—leans closer to Iowa’s hippy nonprofit Seed Savers Exchange than a global agriculture powerhouse. As a botanist, she first studied how to use genetics to boost the anthocyanin content in tobacco plants. The problem was that anthocyanin production worked its way into the entire plant—including the leaves and the stem—which wasted energy and stunted its growth. With her tomatoes, Martin isolated how to increase anthocyanin solely within the fruit itself, and only when the fruit was at its natural ripening state. So these tomato plants can grow under the same conditions, and with the same yield, as conventional options.

Now she imagines a surprising way forward with her tomatoes. She will give them to the market however the market wants to consume them. That means she’ll sell you the seeds to grow them yourself. She’ll allow farmers to grow them and sell them to stores to sell to you. She’ll even turn a blind eye on you cross-pollinating these purple tomatoes with another variety in your garden. Martin isn’t protective of her product; she just wants to see it grow.

“It’s just a different business model. I think we very much want to grow it in response to consumer demand. The big danger with this type of thing is it’s just a boutique thing that comes, passes, and no one is interested anymore. But sometimes you get a change, a new food, and it really works. And it brings consumer satisfaction,” Martin says. “For example, 20 years ago, if you bought salad leaves in the supermarket, they would be green iceberg. Now . . . it’s all different colors. And people love the idea of color in salads. I would like our tomatoes [to work] similarly.”

For two years, Martin has been seeking USDA approval for her product, providing the exact genetic details (three genes were swapped in her plants, sourced from snapdragon and thale cress) and nutritional data. More recently, the USDA has promised to work much faster at approving GMOs, capping analyses to 180 days. While the deadline has already passed, Martin is confident the tomatoes will be approved or rejected by the end of March or April.

“I don’t want to preempt the decision on that,” Martin says, “but we’re optimistic that this should not be regulated because there’s nothing inherently dangerous environmentally or for health in these tomatoes.”

Longer term, Martin suggests that her tomatoes don’t need to be the only fruit with boosted anthocyanin content. In 2013, researchers debuted an apple loaded with the compound, so much so that it resembles a red-fleshed plum, and Martin believes the same is possible with bananas, oranges, and countless other fruits.

So as alien as a purple tomato may sound today? Tomorrow, it could be commonplace.

Selected images from issue 32 of The Test, the January 2022 issue. This is a single panel without its text. The Test is a monthly visual poetry comic that often incorporates formal elements of and references to mainstream 1970s comics. Issue 32 is part of a series called “Thousand Oaks” named for the California town #jackkirby moved to in the 1970s. The series responds to the essays Kirby wrote for the letters pages of the early issues of the books that he wrote and edited himself. Typically, a comic book wouldn’t have a letters page for the first few issues as there would need to be time for issues to be circulating and then for fans to write in. Kirby took to using the letters pages of early issues to write letters to the fans in the manner of editorials which were partly pitches encouraging readers to take interest in the books but mostly mini-essays expressing the philosophical concerns underlying the cosmic fantasies. “Thousand Oaks” is a #workinprogress but the plan to date is to follow a thread I see through four of Kirby’s less successful titles of his return to Marvel Comics (though in these days of franchise building and mining of any and all IP for reboot monetization it’s tougher to claim that any of them are truly unsuccessful or to predict to what future uses they’ll be put). Each section is named after the letters page and begins with an epigraph quoting one of Kirby’s essays, all of which invited reply to him directly at a PO box in Thousand Oaks, something I remember noticing as a young reader. The series focuses on the ideas Kirby shares in the essays though there are occasional references to the actual stories and characters in the comics and some visual quotations. The first section, “Dinosaur Dispatches” is complete, consisting of issues 28, 29 and 30 from fall 2021. Issue 32 kicks off the second section, “Eternal Utterings”. #draw #drawing #drawings #drawingoftheday #sketch #sketches #sketching #art #artists #artistsoninstagram #graphic #graphics #comics #comix #comicbook #comicbooks #comicpanel #comicpanels #valentines #valentine #minotaur https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ9Ogthrdbh/?utm_medium=tumblr

As a part of its second-quarter earnings announcement today, Take-Two Interactive announced that Firaxis' upcoming Marvel strategy game, Marvel's Midnight Suns, is being delayed into the second half of next year.

This isn't a massive bump as the Midnight Suns was previously planned for March 2022. Now, it's looking at somewhere between July and December of that year. In a press release, the company implied that the delay was connected at least in part to increases in the difficulty of making games as technology has improved.

As it becomes possible to make bigger and more technologically interesting games, those games are also tougher and take longer to make.

"While we don’t take delays lightly, we know that our proven success has been rooted firmly in our 'player-first' approach and unwavering commitment to delivering the highest quality entertainment experiences," reads the press release. "We believe it is far better to provide the extra time needed for a product – especially a new IP – to reach its full potential and drive long-term success as a permanent franchise in our industry-leading portfolio."

Firaxis' Twitter account provided a similar statement moments prior:

We have an important development update to share with our fans pic.twitter.com/ycNDCVtbwD

— Marvel's Midnight Suns (@midnightsuns) November 3, 2021

In a conversation with IGN, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick added a bit more detail about why Take-Two, 2K, and Firaxis opted for the delay:

"We think it needs more development time to be everything it can be," he said. "What we're known for doing is supplying the time and the resources so that the creative talent that's taken a big chance by coming to work at our company always has not only the ability to pursue their passions but every possible asset in service of allowing them to pursue their passions, and that's what generates the highest-quality titles in the business, for which we're known.

"We couldn't be more excited about the title. We don't love when we have to slip a title. It's not that common for us; it's been very uncommon in past years. This is a situation where we thought it made sense, and therefore we stand behind it."

Notably, despite Midnight Suns moving out of Take-Two's current fiscal year and into the next one, the company actually raised its projections for this year from between $3.2 billion and $3.3 billion in net bookings to between $3.3 billion and $3.4 billion, in part thanks to its second-quarter net bookings of $985 million – well above its expectations.

Marvel's Midnight Suns was revealed back in August, playing into Firaxis' strategy game strengths as a tactical XCOM-like with a customizable protagonist fighting alongside superpowered heroes like Iron Man, Captain Marvel, and Wolverine against large numbers of enemies. It will include destructible environments, but no permadeath like in the XCOM series.

Durant leur quête pour combattre le Seigneur Dragon (Will Arnett), les joueurs feront la rencontre de sympathiques marginaux tel qu’un Bardebare armé d’un luth et leur propre Tonton Bonne Fée. Entre le talent des équipes de développement de Gearbox et le pouvoir indéniable de ce casting de stars, nous ne pouvons être qu’excités par ce jeu. Nous sommes constamment à la recherche d’idées convaincantes et de façons de tirer parti de la force de nos IP existantes. Ainsi nous sommes heureux de pouvoir aider une équipe de créatifs passionnés à rejoindre un monde et un personnage qui trouveront un écho auprès de nos fans de la première heure mais aussi auprès de nouveaux publics. David Ismailer, Président de 2K Développé par Gearbox Entertainment, la classification anticipée de Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands est PEGI +16.
