   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.

   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.

   Is David Rodgers worried about a biologically engineered superpotato?

   • Like other potato farmers, David Rodgers is wary of a biologically engineered superpotato. "We are fighting the blight, we are growing the potato." Pressed some more, he says everything depends on consumer acceptance. "You can't decide to do it without finding out if the consumer would want to buy it. Europe is so against GM."

   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 ...
