Researchers have compiled the genome sequences of almost 300 types of potatoes and their wild cousins to create crops that are more nutritious, resistant to diseases, and resilient to weather conditions. As global warming increasingly threatens the stability of food sources worldwide, researchers f
Scientists have created a potato super pangenome to identify traits for more resilient and nutritious potatoes. This extensive genetic database could aid in developing disease-resistant and climate-adaptive potatoes, benefiting global food security.
As global warming increasingly threatens the stability of food sources worldwide, researchers from McGill University are exploring methods to enhance both the resilience and nutritional value of potatoes. Led by Professor Martina Strömvik, the team has developed a potato super pangenome to identify genetic characteristics that could pave the way for the next generation of super potatoes.
To build the potato pangenome, the researchers used supercomputers to crunch data from public databanks, including gene banks in Canada, the United States, and Peru.
