Review Description

Improvements in methodology and transformation vectors have helped to increase the transformation efficiency and stable expression of transgenes in potato. Genetic transformation in potato has many benefits and advantages over conventional breeding methods, and potato was one of the first crops to be transformed. Potato transgenic research carried out so far has mainly focused on producing lines resistant to pathogens and modification of potato physiology. This review examines the achievements and current trends in potato transformation technology as well as the biological and practical requirements for the transformation systems. Problems with the application of genetically modified crops for agricultural practices and public concerns are also discussed.
