British scientists have brought GM tomatoes that can help in the fight against heart disease, cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease. In one genetically modified tomato contains the same amount of natural phytoalexin resveratrol as 50 bottles of red wine, or the same amount of genistein (a substance acting as antioxidant and anthelmintic drug), 2.5 kg of tofu.

to Turn tomatoes into "factory of health" allows the protein AtMYB12, which can be found in widespread in great Britain the plant, reports MNT. The protein activates a set of specialized genes, which are involved in metabolic processes responsible for the production of certain natural compounds.

it is Noted that the tomato is as "factory" industrial production of medicines have a high potential due to its ease of cultivation and high productivity at a relatively low cost. Scientists consider it possible to use the method for "growing" other components of the medication.
