Potato is an important starch producing agricultural plant. Starch is the main storage carbohydrate widely used for industrial and nutritional needs. The starch functional properties are mainly defined by the ratio of amylose and amylopectin. The GBSS1 gene is known to be responsible for amylose biosynthesis in potato tubers. The aim of the study is development of Russian potato varieties with low- or no-amylose starch properties using the CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing.
