Jan 6, 2022 · A novel strategy for Colorado potato beetle resistance involves Citation 99 modified potatoes using RNAi technology that expresses dsRNA in chloroplasts targeting the beetle β-actin gene. Citation 99 Chloroplasts lack RNA silencing machinery and cannot break down dsRNA, causing its accumulation.
Dec 23, 2022 · Despite challenges related to potato genome structure and phenotype/genotype variation during plant regeneration after genome editing, CRISPR/Cas technology has great potential for effectively implementing potato modifications, given that the most successful genetically manipulated traits in potato have been achieved through gene silencing ...

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.
Nov 13, 2020 · Summary. Genetic improvement of the potato using conventional breeding is a time-consuming and difficult endeavor because it is a highly heterozygous crop. Making genetic gains is complicated by tetrasomic inheritance and the fact that it is a vegetatively propagated crop.

What are genetically engineered potato plants?
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.
