- 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.

What makes it a GMO? A GMO (genetically modified organism) is a plant, animal, or microorganism that has had its genetic material (DNA) changed using technology that generally involves the specific modification of DNA, including the transfer of specific DNA from one organism to another.

The expression “genetically modified organisms” is scientifically meaningless and semantically dubious.
“GMOs” are currently defined, in short, as “organisms obtained via recombinant DNA techniques”; such description is very problematic, for two main reasons. 1. The boundary which should distinguish these biotech methods and their outcomes from other, similar agri-food products (e.g. those deriving from traditional hybridizations, physical/chemical mutagenesis or several methods used in labs) is foggy and shifting: “Emerging genetic technologies have blurred the distinction between genetic engi...
The most beloved tuber on this planet will help us to show the foolishness of the bogus “GMO” category, and consequently, how counterproductive its effects are.
A very frequent slogan is used by opponents of advanced agri-food biotechnologies: transgenic crops are “unnatural”, and therefore potentially noxious, and even unethical; copying a DNA sequence from a microbe to splice it into the genome of a crop is seen as a sort of violation to the natural order, an undue jump in the tree of life. Even common d...
Many scientists believe, without prejudices, that recombinant DNA biotechnology may give us better potatoes, first of all providing direct benefits to consumers (Patil et al. 2016) and therefore encouraging the public’s acceptance: for instance, a new variety containing a higher level of nutrients has been created and long tested by Indian scientis...

Learning objectives. By the end of this lesson you will: Understand why and how GMO technology is applied to plant improvement. List examples of GMO crops and explain why they were adopted. Explain why GMO technology is controversial. Overview. A GMO is a genetically modified organism — a plant carrying one or more transgenes as part of its genome.
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.
