  4. In 2014, a team of British scientists published a paper about three-year field trial showing that another genetically modified version of the Désirée cultivar can resist infection after exposure to late blight, one of the most serious diseases of potatoes. They developed this potato for blight resistance by inserting a gene (Rpi-vnt1.1), into ...

  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 ...

  6. Dec 5, 2019 · The field trials follow successful lab experiments to modify Maris Piper potatoes with late blight resistance genes from wild relatives of potato called Solanum americanum and Solanum venturii. To ...

  7. Jan 10, 2022 · In addition, potato is largely used in industry to make processed food products, alcohol, animal feed, and for bioenergy production substrates like biofuel (Ahmed et al., 2018). Moreover, given the physicochemical properties of refined starch it is used as a thickening and stabilizing agent in food, and as a raw material in paper, textile ...
