Basic Genetic Modification

Gene Introduced Gene Source Product Function
asn1 Solanum tuberosum double stranded RNA Designed to generate dsRNA to down regulate Asn1 transcripts which lowers asparagine formation
ppo5 Solanum verrucosum double stranded RNA Designed to generate dsRNA to down regulate Ppo5 transcripts which lowers black spot bruise development
Rpi-vnt1 Solanum venturii late blight resistance protein confers resistance to potato late blight
PhL Solanum tuberosum double stranded RNA Designed to generate dsRNA to down regulate PhL transcripts which lowers reducing sugars
R1 Solanum tuberosum double stranded RNA Designed to generate dsRNA to down regulate R1 transcripts which lowers reducing sugars
Vlnv Solanum tuberosum double stranded RNA downregulates VInv transcripts which lowers reducing sugars
