Jan 2, 2021 · These problems can be addressed by genetic modification (GM) or gene editing (GE) and open a wide horizon for potato crop improvement. Current genetically modified and gene edited varieties include those with Colorado potato beetle and late blight resistance, reduction in acrylamide, and modified starch content.
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.
The Zhang et al. paper is among the most thought-provoking plant genetics papers of the last decade. First of all, it is a breeder’s tale about reinventing potato as a hybrid seed crop. However ...
