Spud Genome Sparks Potato Genetic Revolution in Idaho
Scientists at the University of Idaho Aberdeen Center advance gene editing on potatoes to enhance resistance to pests drought and disease while boosting yield. Researchers use marker genes and agro-bacteria to insert traits and plan crossbreeding with standard varieties to test quality and storability. The work aims to create rugged tubers with natural toxins to deter pests and reduce chemical use, though consumer wary remains a factor.
