More recently, the petunia EPSPS gene has been demonstrated to confer Roundup tolerance in transgenic tomato plants. The transgenic tomato plants were tested under field conditions for their productivity and vigor. No significant differences were observed in crop productivity between transgenic and control tomato plants. This demonstrates that introduction and expression of genes into plants does not affect crop yield.
