   Introduction. Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the third most important food for human consumption behind wheat and rice, and among the top horticultural crops.Citation 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.

   Can genetically modified potatoes survive blight?

   • British scientists have developed genetically modified potatoes that are resistant to the vegetable's biggest threat - blight. A three-year trial has shown that these potatoes can thrive despite being exposed to late onset blight. That disease has plagued farmers for generations and it triggered the Irish potato famine in the 1840s.

   Can genetically engineered potatoes reduce fungicide use?

   • Simplot says the genetically engineered potatoes reduce the use of fungicide by half. The company said the potatoes will also have reduced bruising and black spots, enhanced storage capacity, and a reduced amount of a chemical created when potatoes are cooked at high temperatures that's a potential carcinogen.
