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.

GMO crops available in the U.S. include corn, soybeans, cotton, potatoes, papaya, summer squash, canola, alfalfa, apples, sugar beets, and pink pineapples. GMO characteristics of these crops include attributes that help them grow better under environmental stresses, like drought, and ward off diseases and pests (as well as other handy benefits, lik...
Corn is used for feeding people and animals, but it is also used to produce fuel (ethanol) and many additional everyday items—like toothpaste, dish detergent, paper, cosmetics, and many other productswe encounter on a regular basis. Because corn is used in a variety of consumer and animal products, GMO corn (also referred to as maize) research and ...
Growing a widely used crop such as corn with the added benefits of GMO technology is significant on a global scale. With the growing population and threats to usable farmland, scientists and producers must work together be more strategically efficient in growing high-demand commodity crops to maintain our food supply. Fortunately for all of us, the...

As pollen and seeds move in the environment, they can transmit genetic traits to nearby crops or wild relatives. Many self-pollinating crops, such as wheat, barley, and potatoes, have a low frequency of gene flow, but the more promiscuous, such as sugar beets and corn, merit greater concern.
