Basic Genetic Modification
| Gene Introduced | Gene Source | Product | Function |
| gbss (antisense fragment) | Solanum tuberosum | no functional granule-bound starch synthase (GBSS) enzyme is produced; production of GBSS enzyme is suppressed by a gene silencing mechanism | reduces the levels of amylose and increases the levels of amylopectin in starch granules |
| nptII * | Escherichia coli Tn5 transposon | neomycin phosphotransferase II enzyme | allows transformed plants to metabolize neomycin and kanamycin antibiotics during selection |
Regulatory Approvals: Country, Year and Type of Approval
| Country | Food direct use or processing |
Feed direct use or processing |
Cultivation domestic or non-domestic use |
| European Union |

Regulatory and Biosafety Information
Detection Methods
The GM Approval Database, or GMAD, is one of ISAAA’s unique features that compiles all the available information about biotech/GM crops that have been approved for planting and importation for food and feed, and commercialization. ISAAA sources out the information from publicly available decision documents per country, Biosafety Clearing Houses and peer-reviewed scholarly articles to maintain the credibility of the database. Your contribution can help expand and maintain the GMAD and make useful information more available to researchers, students, and the general public. You can help by donating as little as $10.
