Jan 6, 2022 · Potato ( Solanum tuberosum L.) is the third most important crop worldwide and a staple food for many people worldwide. Genetically, it poses many challenges for traditional breeding due to its autotetraploid nature and its tendency toward inbreeding depression. Breeding programs have focused on productivity, nutritional quality, and disease ...

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 ...
Nat Graham: The only GM potato you can currently purchase is known as the White Russet potato, and it has been engineered by potato pioneer, J.R. Simplot Company, to have two new traits. The first reduces browning and bruising that can occur when the potato is being packaged, stored and transported, or even cut in your kitchen.
Jan 10, 2022 · Public Concerns About Genetically Engineered Potato. As we already stated in this review, genetic engineering includes genetic transformation and genome editing. Genetic transformation comprises the traditional tools for introduction of a gene of interest randomly integrated into plant genomes.

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 ...
Jan 1, 2023 · Resistance against Colorado potato beetle (CPB) was the first genetically engineered crop produced by Monsanto in 1995 under the name of NewLeaf (Balaško et al., 2020, Birch et al., 2012). It was one of the first genetically engineered commercial crops. The researchers have developed engineered potatoes that showed reduced browning and bruising.
