   Can GM potatoes be genetically modified?

   • Thus far, no GM potato cultivar prepared for this purpose has been engineered. From all of the above, it can be concluded that many potato threats are elegantly addressed by genetic modification and transgenic plants could produce less metabolites that are harmful for the consumers (malondialdehyde, calreticulin, glycoalkaloids, and others).

   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 genetic modification improve a potato crop?

   • Some of these traits exist in wild potato relatives but their introgression into elite cultivars can take many years and, for traits such as pest resistance, their effect is often short-lasting. These problems can be addressed by genetic modification (GM) or gene editing (GE) and open a wide horizon for potato crop improvement.

   Why did Monsanto discontinue GM potatoes?

   • In 1998 Monsanto released NewLeaf Plus™ potatoes developed from the cv. Russet Burbank, which had added potato leafroll virus (PLRV) resistance. 93 However, by 2001 commercialization had halted due to low profits most likely triggered by the rejection of GM potato by food companies. 2
