The 'Innate' name comes from the fact that this variety does not contain any genetic material from other species (the genes used are "innate" to potatoes) and uses RNA interference to switch off genes.
Jan 14, 2015 · The Innate potato, recently approved for commercial planting by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is a genetically engineered potato tweaked to resist bruising and browning.
Jun 8, 2015 · Potato bruising is caused when damaged cells release an enzyme known as polyphenol oxidase (PPO) which interacts with different compounds creating the black or dark grey color. In the Innate Potato, the PPO enzyme is “turned off” only in the tuber and remains on in the leaves.
Jan 13, 2015 · The Simplot Co. chose the word "innate" because the new genes it inserted are actually modified versions of some genes that exist naturally in potatoes; they are...
Nov 8, 2014 · The company calls its product the Innate potato because it does not contain genes from other species like bacteria, as do many biotech crops. Rather, it contains fragments of...
Nov 11, 2014 · When fried, the new potatoes, called Innate potatoes, produce less of a chemical called acrylamide. Acrylamide appears in some starchy foods when they’re cooked at high temperatures. It’s most...
Sep 9, 2015 · The DNA sequence that was added is from the potato itself, which is why Simplot called it the Innate Potato4. Thus, it is not a ‘transgenic’ 5 crop, where the gene added is from a species distant to the potato.
