👉 Potatoes engineering involves the application of biotechnological techniques to enhance various traits in potato plants, aiming to improve their yield, nutritional value, disease resistance, and adaptability to different environmental conditions. Scientists use genetic engineering methods such as CRISPR-Cas9 to edit specific genes, introducing desirable characteristics like increased resistance to pests and diseases, improved nutritional content (e.g., higher levels of vitamins and minerals), and enhanced tolerance to abiotic stresses like drought and salinity. This process allows for the development of potato varieties that can thrive in diverse agricultural settings, ultimately contributing to food security and sustainable farming practices.
