What is Protein-Enriched Transgenic Potatoes about?

This study developed transgenic potatoes with enhanced nutritional value through tuber-specific expression of the AmA1 seed protein gene from amaranth. Analyses found the transgenic potatoes had up to 60% higher total protein content and significantly increased concentrations of essential amino acids compared to non-transgenic potatoes. The transgenic potatoes also exhibited slightly higher tuber yields and increased photosynthetic activity and biomass. Protein profiling suggested the increased protein cont
