    Jan 6, 2022 · A genetically modified organism (GMO) can be defined as one whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. In the same way that the application of classical genetics in plant breeding was one of the main factors that led to the green revolution, biotechnology and genetic engineering has triggered a second green ...

    Dec 23, 2022 · Therefore, genetic engineering strategies mainly focus on either obtaining amylose-free (waxy) potatoes or increasing the amylose content, which can be achieved by targeting selected genes involved in starch biosynthesis (Hofvander et al. 2004; Andersson et al. 2017). CRISPR/Cas technology proved to be an efficient tool for both approaches.
