   Can genetic modification improve a potato crop?

   • Some of these traits exist in wild potato relatives but their introgression into elite cultivars can take many years and, for traits such as pest resistance, their effect is often short-lasting. These problems can be addressed by genetic modification (GM) or gene editing (GE) and open a wide horizon for potato crop improvement.

   What is GMO corn?

   • Because corn is used in a variety of consumer and animal products, GMO corn (also referred to as maize) research and advances in GMO corn characteristics support many branches of the food industry and other consumer-based economic systems. GMO corn is made to be herbicide-resistant, insect-resistant, or a combination of both.

   Are GM potatoes genetically modified?

   • 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.

   Why do farmers grow GMO crops?

   • Some of the reasons farmers choose to grow GMO crops include: GMO crops may also be more resistant to harsh climates, such as drought, heat, and salty soils. This can help increase the growth of crops in areas where food security is a concern. Certain genes in GMO foods may also help increase the shelf life of foods, again decreasing food waste.

   Nov 4, 2019 · The researchers tested the enhanced gene's performance in 48 commercial types of corn, known as hybrids, that are commonly used to feed livestock. In field tests across corn-growing regions of the United States between 2014 and 2017, they found that the GM hybrids typically yielded 3% to 5% more grain than control plants.
