💨 Abstract
The dandelion, often seen as a weed, has potential beyond its traditional uses. British businessman Neil Clelland aims to genetically modify dandelions to produce latex for condoms, addressing the global rubber shortage. Dandelions naturally contain latex, and Clelland's plan involves gene-editing to increase latex yield.
