Jan 6, 2022 · These problems can be addressed by genetic modification (GM) or gene editing (GE) and open a wide horizon for potato crop improvement. Current genetically modified and gene edited varieties include those with Colorado potato beetle and late blight resistance, reduction in acrylamide, and modified starch content.

Sep 14, 2022 · GM potatoes occupied 2265 ha in United States and Canada during 2019. Up to date, 51 GM events in potatoes have been approved. All of these GM potatoes are prepared by Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated plant transformation. Most GMOs are connected with insect resistance (60%), disease resistance (38%) and modification of potato quality (34%).

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.
Jan 10, 2022 · Genetically engineered (GE) potato plants, obtained by classical genetic transformation strategies or genome editing tools, with increased resistance to insects, bacteria, fungi, viruses, herbicides, abiotic factors, and/or improved nutritional and post-harvest quality were developed.
