Abstract

This work aimed to detect the genetically modified potatoes in Egyptian market. DNA based method was used to detect genetically modified potatoes in the collected genotypes. Three primer pairs were selected to detect the genetic modification. The results indicated that 38 % of the investigated genotypes were positive for genetic modification in ac2 gene. Furthermore, 46% (12 Genotypes) were positive for the presence of genetically modified potato that contained CaMV promoter and cry V gene. In addition to 81% from the samples under investigation were positive for the presence of 35S promoter sequence in potatoes samples. From the obtained results we recommend the Egyptian government to establish strong regulations and certified laboratories to monitor GM crops or foods in the Egyptian market.
