            "description": "Scientists have used CRISPR to give the goldenberry a modern makeover, shrinking the plant by about a third and making it easier to farm. Goldenberries are tasty and nutritious but notoriously unruly, with bushy plants that complicate harvesting. By editing a few key genes and selectively breeding the best-tasting fruits, researchers created new varieties ready for wider cultivation. The approach could speed up how new crops are adapted for a changing climate.",
            "content": "Researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) believe they have discovered a much quicker way to guide crop development. Using the gene-editing tool CRISPR, plant biologists focused on goldenberry, a small fruit related to tomatoes. Their appro... [2615 chars]",
