Genetic modification prevents potatoes from bruising and browning and reduces asparagine, which enhances food safety. (Image Credit: GMO Answers) The potato is the most frequently consumed vegetable in the United States, which raises the question – are there GMO potatoes?
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.
