But the US potato industry is working to make the reintroduction of genetically modified potatoes successful: e.g Keeling mentioned the National Potato Council was planning a task force to determine the best way of reintroduction of genetically modified potatoes without disturbing the market place.
Dec 23, 2022 · In this review, we discuss successful gene editing using the CRISPR/Cas technology for the improvement of economically important potato traits such as nutritional quality, starch composition, herbicide tolerance, and biotic stress resistance.

Genetically modified potatoes were a technological success but a market failure in North America during the late 1990s. The success came from Monsanto scientists who developed resistance to potato leafroll virus (PLRV) and the Colorado potato beetle (CPB). Monsanto chose to first commercialize the CPB-resistant potato then follow with a product tha...
GM potatoes provided benefits to farmers, processors, consumers and the environment. Growers saved money on insecticides no longer needed to control CPB and the insect vectors that carry PLRV. Idaho growers saved $348 per hectare on their NewLeaf Plus plantings and Columbia Basin growers saved $405 per hectare (Kaniewski and Thomas 2004). Processor...
More than a decade ago Hoban (1999) found that consumers in Japan and the US were optimistic about biotechnology. Of six food safety risks, he found consumers were most concerned about pesticide residues and least concerned about biotechnology. Although those results suggest a market opportunity for GM potatoes that require less pesticide use, Natu...
The objectives of this study were to: 1. 1. Identify recommended best management practices that should be part of IP systems for GM potato production 2. 2. Collect expert opinion regarding the likelihood of meeting tolerances for GM contamination
