Abstract
Biotechnology-based tools are now widely used to
enhance and expand the traditional remit of potato in
food production. By modifying its functionality, the
capacity of the potato to produce, for example,
therapeutic or industrial compounds is now a reality,
and its ability to resist disease can also be radically
improved. Two developments have been crucial to
expanding the role of potato: the recent advances in
the fields of structural and functional potato genomics
and the ability to integrate genes of interest into the
potato genome. In this review we discuss how both
developments have diversified the remit of this crop.
