Project Opportunity has completed its first CRISPR-Cas field trials in Sweden and Denmark, developing starch potatoes with improved resistance to late blight. The 12-partner European consortium is advancing sustainable potato breeding and preparing for expanded 2026 trials. The initiative showcases how new genomic techniques (NGTs) can rapidly enhance crop resilience and sustainability across Europe’s potato starch sector.
