   Pusztai had mentioned two lines of genetically modified potatoes, meaning the two GNA lines, and this was reported by the media. The Rowett institute mistakenly assumed the media was talking about a second line transformed with concanavalin A (ConA), a Jack Bean lectin that is toxic to mammals.

   On the surface of it, his now-controversial research was perfectly straightforward: he fed genetically modified potatoes expressing a snowdrop lectin to rats and looked to see whether this food affected their physiology, particularly the gut, metabolic process and immune system.

   Did Pusztai have a snowdrop lectin experiment?

   • The report of the audit conducted at the Rowett Institute ( www.rri.sari.ac.uk/press) clearly shows that experiments on transgenic potatoes containing the gene for the snowdrop lectin (GNA) had already been performed when Pusztai was interviewed for World in Action in August 1998.

   Can genetic modification improve a potato crop?

   • Some of these traits exist in wild potato relatives but their introgression into elite cultivars can take many years and, for traits such as pest resistance, their effect is often short-lasting. These problems can be addressed by genetic modification (GM) or gene editing (GE) and open a wide horizon for potato crop improvement.

   Are genetically modified potatoes poisonous to insects?

   • The experimental potatoes had been transformed with the Galanthus nivalis agglutinin (GNA) gene from the Galanthus (snowdrop) plant, allowing the GNA lectin protein to be synthesised. This lectin is toxic to some insects. Rats were fed raw and cooked genetically modified potatoes, using unmodified Desiree Red potatoes as controls.

   In the 1990s, Dr. Arpad Pusztai’s research showed that rats fed genetically modified potatoes showed potentially precancerous cell growth in their digestive tract, smaller brains, livers, testicles, partial atrophy of the liver and damaged immune system in just 10 days.
