   www.tandfonline.com › doi › full

   ABSTRACT. Potato ( Solanum tuberosum L.) is the third most important crop worldwide and a staple food for many people worldwide. Genetically, it poses many challenges for traditional breeding due to its autotetraploid nature and its tendency toward inbreeding depression. Breeding programs have focused on productivity, nutritional quality, and ...

   Feb 27, 2020 · February 27, 2020. Dr. Eric Magembe is committed to using the tools of genetic engineering to fight the devasating potato late blight disease in sub-Saharan Africa. Since the onset of his career, Magembe, a research scientist with the International Potato Center (CIP), has been curious to see how science can be translated into solutions.

   Can genetic modification improve a potato crop?

   • Some of these traits exist in wild potato relatives but their introgression into elite cultivars can take many years and, for traits such as pest resistance, their effect is often short-lasting. These problems can be addressed by genetic modification (GM) or gene editing (GE) and open a wide horizon for potato crop improvement.

   Can genetically modified potatoes be made with reduced acrylamide?

   • These studies were key to the development of genetically modified potatoes with reduced acrylamide. The first generation Innate® potatoes were developed from cv. Russet Burbank by reducing Asn1 expression through RNAi, using tuber-specific expression promoters.

   Can GM potatoes survive blight?

   • A three-year trial has shown that these potatoes can thrive despite being exposed to late onset blight. That disease has plagued farmers for generations and it triggered the Irish potato famine in the 1840s. EU approval is needed before commercial cultivation of this GM crop can take place.
