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. They developed this potato for blight resistance by inserting a gene (Rpi-vnt1.1), into ...

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.
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.
