   Is sweet potato genetically modified?

   • It demonstrates that genetic modification also happens in nature. Given the fact that sweet potato has been cultivated and eaten for thousands of years, this discovery might change the paradigm about the ‘unnatural’ status of GMO food.

   Is sweet potato a GMO?

   • Sweet potatoes from all over the world naturally contain genes from the bacterium Agrobacterium, researchers report. Sweet potato is one of the most important food crops for human consumption in the world. Because of the presence of this "foreign" DNA, sweet potato can be seen as a "natural GMO," the researchers say.

   Is sweet potato a result of horizontal gene transfer?

   • Finding similar sequences is not a full proof that they are the result of horizontal gene transfer, but in the case of sweet potato there are strong indications that this has happened. Indeed, Agrobacterium is specialized to transfer a part of its own DNA, the so-called T-DNA, to plants. And it is this T-DNA that has been found in sweet potato.
