Sep 14, 2022 · Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) are one of the most important crops worldwide. However, its production and nutrient content are endangered by both biotic and abiotic stresses. The main yield losses are caused by pest damage (e.g., Colorado potato beetle and aphids), virus disease (e.g., Potato leafroll virus and Potato viruses Y and X), or oomycete pathogens (like Phytophthora infestans), which ...
Jan 6, 2022 · This review aims to highlight the current genetic engineering tools that are being employed in potato improvement, with special emphasis on varieties that have reached the market. It examines the traits that have been modified in potato, the methods used, and the final outcomes.

Oct 20, 2022 · ABSTRACT. Late blight, caused by Phytophthora infestans, is the most devastating disease in potato production. Here, we show full late blight resistance in a location with a genetically diverse pathogen population with the use of GM potato stacked with three resistance (R) genes over three seasons.

Sep 9, 2022 · These potatoes have been approved since 2005 and 2007, respectively, in Russia for direct use or processed in food. 42 During 2016, the Federation Council of the Russian Federation adopted a law that banned the usage of GMO for food production. This law includes new registration procedures for GMO and necessary permissions to work in this field.
Feb 27, 2020 · Magembe and other scientists are fighting to change the negative narrative around crops produced by genetic engineering — commonly referred to as genetically modified organisms (GMOs). So far, they have done six confined field trials experiments for LBD-resistant potatoes in Uganda and are in talks with the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock ...
