Published: 29.11.19. A genetically modified potato with improved tuber quality and resistance to the devastating disease late blight has progressed successfully through the latest stage of trials. Aerial photograph of the GM potato field trial site. The field trials follow successful lab experiments to modify Maris Piper potatoes with late ...
v. t. e. 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. Varieties modified to produce large amounts of starches may ...
Oct 20, 2022 · Citation 28–31 Only few studies have been found succesfull in changing attitudes toward GM food for more favorable. Citation 20, Citation 32–34 Thus, policymakers, scientists and communication specialists have to find ways to address and engage with consumers’ concerns regarding use of novel technologies in food production.
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 ...
May 18, 2018 · Working together, scientists from Wageningen University & Research and Teagasc, the Irish Agriculture and Food Development Authority, have developed a two-pronged approach: a genetically modified potato, along with a new pest management strategy, that combine for healthy crops with minimal fungicide use.
