Potato resistant to Phytophthora infestans| Resistance to antibiotics (Kanamycin), Resistance to diseases and pests (Phytophthora infestans resistance)
- B-SE-04-1101-Final-Report-SE.pdf [ English ]
No difference regarding persistence in Agricultural habitats or invasiveness in natural habitats compared to conventional potato varieties is expected. Due to the measures to be taken during the release (distance to or absence of cultivated and wild relatives) will the potential for gene transfer virtually to be excluded. Interactions of the GM postato lines with non-target species and resulting effects will be comparable to those of conventional potato varieties. No toxic or allergenic effects are expected from the introduced resistance, nor from the nptII gene. Measures in Place under current field trial practice will safeguard that all tubers and plant material is properly managed, harvested, stored, transported or disposed of, to minimize Contact to humans or animals. No effects are expected on biogeochemical processes.

Brief description of the measures taken for the management of risks:
- isolation distance: 20 m
- careful harvest to avoid volunteers
- transportation in specific vehicles, closed containers or double sacks
- adjusted crop rotation: fallow field the following year, no potato crop for one additional year
- destruction of waste material

REgular inspection (2-5 times/week) to see if any unforeseen events occur. Inspections will be made at least once a month of the field trial site the season after the trial to detect for gm potatoes that may be left in the field. The field will be placed in fallow the year after the field trial.

The genetically modified potato lines show an improved resistance to Phytophthora infestans. No difference regarding persistence in agricultural habitats or invasiveness in natural habitats compared to conventional potato varieties is expected. Due to the measures to be taken during the release (distance to or absence of cultivated and wild relatives) will the potential for gene transfer virtually be excluded. Interactions of the GM potato lines with non-target species and resulting effects will be comparable to those of conventional potato varieties. No toxic or allergenic effects are expected from the introduced resistance, nor from the nptII gene.

No effects are expected on biogeochemical processes.
- Investigate expression and stability of modified trait
- Investigate the agricultural value of the modified lines, especially resistance to P. infestans
- Produce seed potatoes for future trials.
