…retrogradation, so must be modified with chemical reactions which can be costly. After two decades of research efforts, BASF's biotechnologists using genetic engineering succeeded in creating a potato, named "Amflora", where the gene responsible for the synthesis of amylose had been turned off, thus the potato is unable…
