May 26, 2020 · … Together with new breeding technologies …. genetic modification remains a useful tool in the genetic improvement of potatoes. The 100-plus wild species relatives of potato provide a virtually...
Oct 20, 2022 · View PDF View EPUB. 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.
Feb 17, 2014 · 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...
Mar 23, 2023 · 23 March 2023. BBC News. Researchers in Cambridge are developing gene-edited potatoes that don't bruise in order to reduce food waste. By Pallab Ghosh. Science correspondent. Gene-edited food...
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.
Dec 5, 2019 · The field trials follow successful lab experiments to modify Maris Piper potatoes with late blight resistance genes from wild relatives of potato called Solanum americanum and Solanum venturii.
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.
