Significant limitations in potato production are crop loss due to the damage
made by insect pests, and the cost of enormous amount of chemicals, harmful
to humans and environment, extensively used in their control. As an alternative,
development of genetically modified potato offered possibility for pest management
in a more sustainable, environmentally friendly way. Over the past 30 years
introduction of pest resistance traits progressed from a single gene to multiple
stacked events and from Bt-toxin expression to expression of proteins from non-Bt
sources, dsRNA and their combination, while advances in molecular biology have
brought “cleaner” gene manipulation technologies. However, together with benefits
any new technology also bears its risks, and there are still a range of unanswered
questions and concerns about long-term impact of genetically modified crops –
that with knowledge and precautionary approaches can be avoided or mitigated.
Sustainability of genetically modified crops for pest control largely depends on the
willingness to gain and implement such knowledge.
