  1. Oct 20, 2022 · 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. In addition, using this field trials, we demonstrate that in-the-field intervention among consumers led to change for more favorable attitude generally ...

  3. Jan 6, 2022 · These problems can be addressed by genetic modification (GM) or gene editing (GE) and open a wide horizon for potato crop improvement. Current genetically modified and gene edited varieties include those with Colorado potato beetle and late blight resistance, reduction in acrylamide, and modified starch content.

  7. 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.

  8. Jan 10, 2022 · Recently, the potato variety Z6, engineered for low reducing sugars, low acrylamide potential, reduced black spot bruising and late blight protection, was deregulated in United States (source: USDA, 2021). It is interesting to discover if this GE potato with direct nutritional benefits will be well received by consumers.
