One of the first commercially sold GM plants was the &quot;Flavr Savr&quot; (yes that title!) tomato. This tomato used GM tech to reverse some things we humans introduced in the tomato breeding process (lack of taste due to a short ripening process, for example).<p>It was available in the US (after FDA approval) from 94 to 97. The company went under due to mismanagement and a bit  of GM apprehension.<p>There are many, many more similar projects underway, but nowadays the public apprehension is even bigger, so investors are reluctant to invest in such technology.
