Jan 6, 2022 · Genetically Modified Characteristics in Potato. Genetic modification has been highly successful in potato with commercialization of improved varieties for quantitative traits, such as productivity, and qualitative traits, such as disease resistance and nutritional quality. 73 The strategies utilized include both trans-genesis and cis-genesis ...

Jan 10, 2022 · In addition, A. tumefaciens-mediated infiltration without involving a viral based system has been reported to study gene function or protein localization in potato (Bhaskar et al., 2009). Although there are some reports using these tools in potato, their applications are far from routine and currently more limited to model plant species.

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 · Moreover, the availability of potato genome sequence and efficient potato transformation systems have remarkably facilitated potato genetic engineering. Here we summarize the potato trait improvement and potential application of new breeding technologies (NBTs) to genetically improve the overall agronomic profile of potato.

Sep 14, 2022 · Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) are one of the most important crops worldwide. However, its production and nutrient content are endangered by both biotic and abiotic stresses. The main yield losses are caused by pest damage (e.g., Colorado potato beetle and aphids), virus disease (e.g., Potato leafroll virus and Potato viruses Y and X), or oomycete pathogens (like Phytophthora infestans), which ...

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.
The recent approval of the Amflora potato by the European Union (EU)—the EU's first registration of a genetically modified (GM) potato in 12 years—has garnered considerable media attention and ...
