A genetically modified potato is a potato that has had its genes modified, using genetic engineering. Goals of modification include introducing pest resistance , tweaking the amounts of certain chemicals produced by the plant, and to prevent browning or bruising of the tubers.
Feb 17, 2014 · British scientists have developed genetically modified potatoes that are resistant to the vegetable's biggest threat - blight. A three-year trial has shown that these potatoes can thrive...
Jun 14, 2021 · In the 1960s, plant scientists in the US bred a new potato variety that was ideal for making into crisps, but also contained dangerously high levels of natural toxins. The potato had to be ...
Oct 20, 2022 · Late blight, caused by Phytophthora infestans, is the most devastating disease in potato production. Here, we show full late blight resistance in a location with a genetically diverse pathogen population with the use of GM potato stacked with three resistance (R) genes over three seasons.
