Feb 28, 2017 · By Keith Ridler, The Associated Press. BOISE, Idaho — Three types of potatoes genetically engineered to resist the pathogen that caused the Irish potato famine are safe for the environment...
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.
Dec 5, 2019 · “We have identified a plant that looks fine in terms of yield – comparable to wild type Maris Piper – but with all the benefits of blight resistance, reduced bruising and lower levels of reducing...
Mar 17, 2022 · Since then, especially in the past two decades, many genetically modified potatoes have been obtained, for example, related to modifications regarding growth, development, yield, quality, stress resistance and so on. These studies have effectively accelerated the process of potato breeding.
