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.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.
Oct 20, 2022 · Plant Material. The transgenic potatoes used in the experiment were obtained from the cultivar King Edward, the most common cultivar in Sweden. 38 King Edward plants stacked with three R-genes (RB and Rpi-blb2 from Solanum bulbocastanum, and Rpi-vnt1.1 from Solanum venturi) were produced using Agrobacterium tumefaciens following published procedures. 39 Three transformed lines were selected ...

Feb 27, 2020 · February 27, 2020. Dr. Eric Magembe is committed to using the tools of genetic engineering to fight the devasating potato late blight disease in sub-Saharan Africa. Since the onset of his career, Magembe, a research scientist with the International Potato Center (CIP), has been curious to see how science can be translated into solutions.
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.
