Genome editing in tetraploid potato: CRISPR technologies, multi-omics target discovery, and applications for trait-oriented breeding

Aug 2026 · Plant Cell Tissue and Organ Culture · Vol 166 · 0 citations · 107 references

TL;DR

This review summarizes examples of reduced tuber browning, modified starch characteristics, and editing of susceptibility loci for late blight and viral resistance, as well as technical challenges specific to potato, such as allele identification in tetraploids, editing efficiency, and bystander edits.
