   May 17, 2016 · In this chapter, the committee examines the evidence that substantiates or negates specific hypotheses and claims about the health risks and benefits associated with foods derived from genetically engineered (GE) crops. There are many reviews and official statements about the safety of foods from GE crops (for example, see Box 5-1), but to conduct a fresh examination of the evidence, the ...

   Jan 6, 2022 · Introduction. Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the third most important food for human consumption behind wheat and rice, and among the top horticultural crops. 1 Two thirds of the annual yield is marketed fresh, while the remainder is processed for snack and other industrial food products, including animal feed, adhesives, pharmaceuticals, wood, and textile commodities. 2,3 In 2019, 17.5 ...

   Sep 14, 2022 · Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) are one of the most important crops worldwide. However, its production and nutrient content are endangered by both biotic and abiotic stresses. The main yield losses are caused by pest damage (e.g., Colorado potato beetle and aphids), virus disease (e.g., Potato leafroll virus and Potato viruses Y and X), or oomycete pathogens (like Phytophthora infestans), which ...

   What is a genetically modified potato?

   • A genetically modified potato is a potato that has had its genes modified, using genetic engineering. Goals of modification include introducing pest resistance, tweaking the amounts of certain chemicals produced by the plant, and to prevent browning or bruising of the tubers.

   Should genetically modified potatoes be commercially successful?

   • 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.

   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.
