- Here, we report the development of transgenic potatoes with enhanced nutritive value by tuber-specific expression of a seed protein, AmA1 (Amaranth Albumin 1), in seven genotypic backgrounds suitable for cultivation in different agro-climatic regions. Analyses of the transgenic tubers revealed up to 60% increase in total protein content.

Sep 14, 2022 · Up to date, 51 GM events in potatoes have been approved. All of these GM potatoes are prepared by Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated plant transformation. Most GMOs are connected with insect resistance (60%), disease resistance (38%) and modification of potato quality (34%).
Jan 10, 2022 · There is a variety of methods for potato improvement via genetic transformation. Most of them incorporate genes of interest into the nuclear genome; nevertheless, the development of plastid transformation protocols broadened the available approaches for potato breeding.

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 be ...
Jun 29, 2018 · The tubers of seven engineered potato cultivars showed an increased protein content up to 60% as compared to controls (Chakraborty et al., 2010). In addition to increased protein content, the transgenic potato also showed an accelerated rate of photosynthesis that ultimately increased the total biomass/yield of plants.

The protocol involves a single medium composition throughout, and transformants were obtained within 6–8 wk. To our knowledge, the increase in protein content of genetically modified tubers in this study is one of the highest increases observed in any transgenic crop.
Jan 2, 2021 · Current genetically modified and gene edited varieties include those with Colorado potato beetle and late blight resistance, reduction in acrylamide, and modified starch content.
