Nat Graham:When most people think about genetic modification, they assume that the product has been engineered to produce something new, but in the case of GM potatoes it’s actually the opposite. In this case, the plant has been engineered to actually make less of something that it is already producing. Using a technology called RNAi, scientists ar...
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. While the browning is...
Nat Graham: The only GM potato that is available to consumers and restaurants is the White Russet, and it is a very new product. As a result, only a very small amount of acreage has been devoted to it so far. The company worked with farmers to grow approximately 6,000 acres of the potato to be sold in 2017. By comparison, there were over 955,000 ac...
Nat Graham:The choice of which product to grow is completely up to individual farmers, so I can’t speak for them. I can say, though, that after talking to plenty of farmers myself, they are interested in selling more usable potatoes instead of those that are bruised during harvest and storage. They also want to spray less pesticide when possible to...
Nat Graham: The process of making any genetically engineered plant is generally pretty similar. A DNA sequence is identified that is thought will improve the plant quality. That DNA sequence is then inserted into the plant using a modified version of a naturally-occurring bacterium called Agrobacterium. The plant is then grown in a lab and tested t...
Nat Graham:We eat quite a few potatoes in my house, most are purchased fresh from the grocery and cooked at home. I’ve been known to seek out a fast-food French fry from time to time though! *The J. R. Simplot Company reviewed this post for accuracy.
Aug 3, 2017 · Canadian officials say three types of potatoes genetically engineered by an Idaho company to resist the pathogen that caused the Irish potato famine are safe for the environment and safe to eat.
Mar 21, 2013 · To accomplish this effect, scientists at Okanagan Specialty Fruits and J. R. Simplot introduced genetically engineered genes that make their apples and potatoes produce double stranded RNA (dsRNA) to shut off the browning genes. dsRNA is the same type of RNA that was fed to bees.
May 8, 2023 · Research is also being done to create non-browning mushrooms, apples and potatoes. A simple gene edit can help inhibit the browning oxidation reaction, leading to a longer shelf-life and...
