  2. Jun 29, 2018 · Several studies have shown the improved nutritional value of potato tubers, for example by enhancing Amaranth Albumin- 1 seed protein content, vitamin C content, β-carotene level, triacylglycerol, tuber methionine content, and amylose content, etc. Removal of anti-nutritional compounds like steroidal glycoalkaloids, acrylamide and food toxins is...

  4. Sep 14, 2022 · The eggs deposit in masses of 20–60 eggs on the lower surface of the foliage of the host plant. (23) CPB larvae and adults feed on the leaves of the host plant, resulting in its defoliation and, unless controlled, eventual loss. As a defense, the infested potato plant produces glycoalkaloids (GAs).

  5. 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.

  7. Jan 1, 2018 · This review provides detailed reports on the advances made in genetic transformation of potato for enrichment in its nutritional and therapeutic value by an increase in functional secondary metabolites, carbohydrate, essential amino acids, proteins, lipids, vitamins and edible vaccines.

  8. The name “protato” has been coined to describe the genetically modified potatoes that contain an increased quantity of protein with improved quality in terms of amino acid composition. Geographical distributions of potato plants are greatly influenced by different agro-climatic conditions.
