   Can genetic engineering help fight potato late blight?

   • 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.

   How to improve resistance to late blight disease in potato?

   • The knocking-out of the susceptibility S-genes in potato through CRISPR/Cas9 approach is another beneficial approach to improve resistance to late blight disease in potato. There are three potential S-genes, StDND1, StCHL1, and StDMR6-1 which have been identified to be linked to susceptibility to late blight in potato [ 83 ].

   Do transgenic potatoes have late blight resistance?

   • The goals of this investigation was to evaluate the late blight resistance of transgenic potatoes consisting of three R genes ( RB, Rpi-blb2, and Rpi-vnt1.1) stacked in a dominant local potato cultivar under complex pathogen population, and use the trial for an in-field intervention with consumers.
