Feb 27, 2020 · February 27, 2020. Dr. Eric Magembe is committed to using the tools of genetic engineering to fight the devasating potato late blight disease in sub-Saharan Africa. Since the onset of his career, Magembe, a research scientist with the International Potato Center (CIP), has been curious to see how science can be translated into solutions.
Oct 20, 2022 · Plant Material. The transgenic potatoes used in the experiment were obtained from the cultivar King Edward, the most common cultivar in Sweden. 38 King Edward plants stacked with three R-genes (RB and Rpi-blb2 from Solanum bulbocastanum, and Rpi-vnt1.1 from Solanum venturi) were produced using Agrobacterium tumefaciens following published procedures. 39 Three transformed lines were selected ...

May 17, 2016 · In this chapter, the committee examines the evidence that substantiates or negates specific hypotheses and claims about the health risks and benefits associated with foods derived from genetically engineered (GE) crops. There are many reviews and official statements about the safety of foods from GE crops (for example, see Box 5-1), but to conduct a fresh examination of the evidence, the ...

May 18, 2018 · Working together, scientists from Wageningen University & Research and Teagasc, the Irish Agriculture and Food Development Authority, have developed a two-pronged approach: a genetically modified potato, along with a new pest management strategy, that combine for healthy crops with minimal fungicide use.
Jan 6, 2022 · Potato ( Solanum tuberosum L.) is the third most important crop worldwide and a staple food for many people worldwide. Genetically, it poses many challenges for traditional breeding due to its autotetraploid nature and its tendency toward inbreeding depression. Breeding programs have focused on productivity, nutritional quality, and disease ...

Reviews of studies with animals fed GE foods have included studies using both rodents and farm animals (Bartholomaeus et al., 2013; DeFrancesco, 2013; Ricroch et al., 2013a,b, 2014; Swiatkiewicz et al., 2014; Van Eenennaam and Young, 2014). Those animal studies have taken advantage of the fact that maize and soybean are major components of the ...
v. t. e. 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. Varieties modified to produce large amounts of starches may ...
