Jan 6, 2022 · Commercial success of genetically modified potatoes must prioritize traits that benefit producers and consumers and, at the same time, reduce the environmental impact of production. For example, amylose-free potato varieties, such as Amflora™, benefit industry and help preserve the environment because they produce starch that does not require ...

Jun 29, 2018 · The current scenario of GM potatoes being commercialized in some countries encompasses viral resistant potatoes generated through genetic engineering (Mathur et al., 2017). Potato pests cause direct damage to potato crop in the forms of necrosis, deformations of plant tissues and/or indirect damage by facilitating the pathogen dispersal ...

Jan 1, 2023 · For production and multiplication, tubers are used (Mohapatra and Batra, 2017, Struik and Wiersema, 1999). Most of the diploid potatoes show self-incompatibility. Genetic analysis and conventional breeding remain a challenge in potato cultivars. Still, breeding of resistance and quality traits in potatoes is a challenge.
Jan 10, 2022 · Genetically engineered (GE) potato plants, obtained by classical genetic transformation strategies or genome editing tools, with increased resistance to insects, bacteria, fungi, viruses, herbicides, abiotic factors, and/or improved nutritional and post-harvest quality were developed.
May 18, 2018 · A potato variety genetically engineered to resist potato blight can help reduce the use of chemical fungicides by up to 90 percent, according to a new study - drastically reducing the environmental impact of potato farming.
