Jan 6, 2022 · Commercial success of genetically modified potatoes must prioritize traits that benefit producers and consumers and, at the same time, reduce the environmental impact of production. For example, amylose-free potato varieties, such as Amflora™, benefit industry and help preserve the environment because they produce starch that does not require ...

May 25, 2022 · Developing potato cultivars with modified starch could open new opportunities, Toinga said. Potatoes with high amylopectin and low amylose, like the gene-edited Yukon Gold strain she described in ...
Amflora is a starch potato developed by BASF for the production of specialty starch. Potato starch consists of two types of starch with very different properties: amylose and amylopectin. Instead of the regular 20/80 amylose-/amylopectin mixture in a typical potato, Amflora has been genetically modified to contain only amylopectin.
Dec 23, 2022 · Additionally, genetically engineered potato plants have attracted interest as a potential source of various products, such as modified starch, lipids, and recombinant proteins, including drugs and vaccines. To date, several genetically modified (GM) potato cultivars have been commercialized.
