  2. Jun 29, 2018 · Recently, amylose contents were significantly increased (28–59%) in non-genetically modified potatoes by introducing a recessive allele (gene marker: IAm) from wild potato (S. sandemanii) into cultivated potato (S. tuberosum) through marker-assisted crossing (Krunic et al., 2018).

  5. 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.

  6. Sep 14, 2022 · In this review, we focus on the main sources of problems in the field of potato production according to approved genetic modifications, their traditional solution and positive impact of gene transfection reducing economic losses, use of insecticides, and improving the nutritional properties of potatoes.

  7. 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.

  8. Sep 21, 2010 · Nicknamed 'protato' the protein packed genetically modified (GM) potato contains 60 per cent more protein than a wild-type potato and has increased levels of several amino acids.
