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.
Dec 23, 2022 · Additionally, genetically engineered potato plants have attracted interest as a potential source of various products, such as modified starch, lipids, and recombinant proteins, including drugs and vaccines. To date, several genetically modified (GM) potato cultivars have been commercialized.

Jan 7, 2019 · A plethora of methods exist for increasing the RS content of potato starch. Modified potato starches with some form of resistance to enzymatic hydrolysis or bacterial usage may aid in the development of new RS-rich potato starch derivatives. Many methods for increasing RS have similar, but varied, effects on different starch types.
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.
