   By comparison, there were over 955,000 acres of potatoes planted in the U.S. in 2015. Why would farmers choose to grow genetically modified potatoes? 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 ...

   Jan 6, 2022 · Potato ( Solanum tuberosum L.) is the third most important crop worldwide and a staple food for many people worldwide. Genetically, it poses many challenges for traditional breeding due to its autotetraploid nature and its tendency toward inbreeding depression. Breeding programs have focused on productivity, nutritional quality, and disease ...

   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.

   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.
