Jan 6, 2022 · These problems can be addressed by genetic modification (GM) or gene editing (GE) and open a wide horizon for potato crop improvement. Current genetically modified and gene edited varieties include those with Colorado potato beetle and late blight resistance, reduction in acrylamide, and modified starch content.

The name “protato” has been coined to describe the genetically modified potatoes that contain an increased quantity of protein with improved quality in terms of amino acid composition. Geographical distributions of potato plants are greatly influenced by different agro-climatic conditions.
The recent approval of the Amflora potato by the European Union (EU)—the EU's first registration of a genetically modified (GM) potato in 12 years—has garnered considerable media attention...
Jan 1, 2023 · Several methods in potato genetic engineering exist to transform potato nuclear genome as well as plastids, and these methods include the use of Agrobacterium -mediated transformation, microinjection, particle bombardment, and polyethylene glycol (PEG) protoplast transfection.
