A study was undertaken to assess the nutritional value of tubers of transgenic lines of potato cv. Desiree with repression of a and c isoforms of 14-3-3 proteins obtained by means of antisense transformations. Isoforms of 14-3-3 protein are responsible for metabolism of carbohydrates, amino acids and calcium. Repression of that protein, i.e. reduction of its synthesis in a potato plant, results in:...
The presence of highly toxic acrylamide in food products such as fried potatoes and chips was confirmed by Swedish scientists from the Stockholm University. Neurotoxicity of this compound and its metabolites imposes a duty to control it by qualitative and quantitative assays. Recent findings showed that acrylamide is formed in heat-treated foods rich in asparagine and reducing sugars such as glucose...
In the presented work the effects of 3-year own investigations relative to technological usability of potato tubers of parental cultivar and its genetically-modified clones were recapitulated. Potato tubers of cultivar Irga were transformed with viral genome sequences in order to improve their resistance to a necrotic strain of potato virus Y (PVYN) at the Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics,...
For 4 weeks, male outbred IF2Jaz rats, divided into 4 groups (n=10), were administered ad libitum diets with 30% addition of dried tubers of transgenic potatoes with repression of isoform a, c as well as a and c of 14-3-3 protein (experimental groups) or with the addition of non-transgenic potatoes of Desiree cultivar (control group). The administration of transgenic potatoes did not affect the growth...
