Scientists are expected to breed hypoallergenic apples

Apples usually do not cause allergies. However, 75% of people who are allergic to birch pollen are also allergic to apples. People who are sensitive to fruits will experience unpleasant irritation, such as blistering of the tongue and lips.

An agricultural research group composed of molecular biologists, plant physiologists and allergy experts is mapping the genetic map of apples and trying to replace the irritating proteins present in apples with hypoallergenic proteins obtained from nature. Created a hypoallergenic apple.

But the research team is very cautious about the impact of Apple's "upgrading". "You don't know what happens when you suppress a biological gene," says plant physiologist Alessandro Bolton. He said that in the process of cultivating hypoallergenic apples, the effects of gene conversion need to be observed to avoid unexpected side effects.

In addition, this nurturing project also faces the challenge of the people's reluctance to eat genetically modified food.

“Although consumers—especially food allergic consumers—are more optimistic about genetically modified apples, even food allergic consumers are more inclined to apples cultivated by traditional methods,” food safety expert Lin En · Fluhr said.

In fact, for those allergic to apples, nature also provides some solutions. "There are hundreds of apple varieties," says Alexandra Bolton, a plant geneticist at the University of Padova, Italy. "Some of these varieties may contain answers." For example, certain apple varieties (Australian Green Apple) belongs to the hypersensitivity group, while the two varieties, Jonagin and Gloucester, only induce mild allergic reactions.
