Jan 6, 2022 · This review aims to highlight the current genetic engineering tools that are being employed in potato improvement, with special emphasis on varieties that have reached the market. It examines the traits that have been modified in potato, the methods used, and the final outcomes.
Mar 21, 2013 · The question that serious scientists are asking is: If we (or bees, or birds, or deer) consume the dsRNA in the apple or potato, can it influence how our genes work? Will these genetically modified organisms (GMOs), eaten as apple pies, french fries, or whatever, change our development, physiology, and behavior?
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.

Oct 20, 2022 · Late blight, caused by Phytophthora infestans, is the most devastating disease in potato production. Here, we show full late blight resistance in a location with a genetically diverse pathogen population with the use of GM potato stacked with three resistance (R) genes over three seasons.
Sep 14, 2022 · BASF Plant Science developed two approved GM potatoes (Amflora and Starch Potato), but none of them are approved for cultivation and are no longer marketed. The inserted gene minimizes the amylose content by lowering the level of granule-bound starch synthase.
Jul 27, 2021 · 1. INTRODUCTION. Genetically modified organisms (GMO) have been topics of hot debates over the last few decades. Some countries have been known to have a fierce regulatory framework over the genetically modified crops. The regulations of the European Union are the ones that have been subjects of continued criticism in this regard.

Nov 18, 2023 · We include data on overall support for the use of GM technologies in food production, and for four specific GM attributes: crop resistance to pests and/or weeds, resistance to drought and/or virus conditions, resistance to browning in produce (apples, potatoes), and superior growth in fish (Aquabounty salmon).
