Explanation: Indian researchers developed the first ever low pungent mustard using Genome Editing (GE)

• The new mustard variety is less pungent as it has lesser quantity of glucosinolate at par with the Canola quality limit (30 parts per million or PPM dry weight).
• It is produced through gene editing of ‘Varuna’, a high yielding Indian mustard variety, using CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology.
