Marker free Cis-genesis in potato as breeding technique of NGT plants

We will explore the technological possibilities of generating marker-free NGT plants by cis-genesis through combining elements of our CRISPR breeding platform with traditional cis-genesis technology, in potato. If successful, this will enable introduction cis-genes into the genome of potato without the use of selection-markers.

We expect that results gathered throughout 2025 will enable us to assess the feasibility of the method by end 2025 or first half of 2026. Results will be published and appear on this homepage.
