Five different potato varieties have been transformed, creating "innate" versions of the varieties, with all of the original traits, plus the engineered ones. Ranger Russet, Russet Burbank, and Atlantic potatoes have all been transformed by Simplot, as well as two proprietary varieties.

Jun 8, 2015 · The DNA sequence that has been added is from the potato itself, which is why they’ve called it the “Innate Potato”. Thus, this isn’t a transgenic crop, where the gene added is from a species distant to the potato.

These studies were key to the development of genetically modified potatoes with reduced acrylamide. The first generation Innate® potatoes were developed from cv. Russet Burbank by reducing Asn1 expression through RNAi, using tuber-specific expression promoters.

No adverse impact to human health, other species or the environment - Innate™ potatoes contain potato DNA and are grown just like regular, cultivated potatoes with no need for special pesticides or fertilizers.

Feb 28, 2017 · BOISE, Idaho -- Three types of potatoes genetically engineered to resist the pathogen that caused the Irish potato famine are safe for the environment and safe to eat, federal officials have...

Jan 9, 2015 · The potato, developed by the potato giant J.R. Simplot in Boise, Idaho, is dubbed Innate as it contains only elements from sexually compatible, wild potato relatives, and employs RNA...

May 8, 2013 · Simplot Plant Sciences plans to add benefits to current Innate™ potato lines, different potato varieties and even other crops. Our second generation of biotech potatoes will store better and reduce acrylamide by up to a 90%.

Jan 13, 2015 · These potatoes are called Innate russet Burbank. The Simplot Co. chose the word "innate" because the new genes it inserted are actually modified versions of some genes that exist naturally in...

• Develop new hybrid potato varieties—turn potato into a hybrid crop using diploids and conventional breeding • Tuber seed to be eventually replaced by true potato seed, which would revolutionize

May 31, 2024 · Simplot’s first biotech potatoes are branded Innate because the varieties have traits obtained by adjusting the expression of only potato genes. Generation 1 Innate potato (forefront). Two generations of Innate have been developed so far.
