Potatoes modified for resistance to Phytophthora infestans
EN
264 different events were released that comprised either construct VCPMA16 or VCPMA19
No
An intended effect of the introduced Rpi-blb1 and Rpi-blb2 genes from Solanum bulbocastanum is an increased ability of the potato to withstand infection by Phytophthora infestans.
EN
The term “Recipient organism” refers to an organism (either already modified or non-modified) that was subjected to genetic modification, whereas “Parental organisms” refers to those that were involved in cross breeding or cell fusion.
Three different parental potato varieties (p698, p835, p880) served as starting material for transformation.
