Researchers genetically engineered a bacterial compound that measures toxicity in the plant. When the bacteria sense a bad potato, an optical sensor lights up.

Potatoes get stressed too apparently. If farmers were able to get early warning signs, according to new research, the result could be much better harvests.

Israeli scientists synthesize healthier potatoes and tomatoes in brilliant colors. The technology can also produce unusually hued ornamental flowers.
