  4. 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 ...

  5. 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.

  6. Jan 6, 2024 · The use of genetic engineering techniques can improve potato production and address some of the challenges that potato producers face, such as disease susceptibility and environmental stress. CRISPR/Cas technology has been used in potato to improve traits such as yield, disease resistance, and nutritional content.

  7. Jan 1, 2023 · Several methods in potato genetic engineering exist to transform potato nuclear genome as well as plastids, and these methods include the use of Agrobacterium -mediated transformation, microinjection, particle bombardment, and polyethylene glycol (PEG) protoplast transfection.
