“…Most reports evaluating field experiments with transgenic potato plants have dealt with the effects of specific agronomic traits such as increased resistance against insects, viruses and herbicides and chemical composition (Nelson et al, 1988;Delannay et al, 1989;De Greef et al, 1989;Lawson et al, 1990: Jongedijk et al, 1992Van der Vlugt & Goldbach, 1993;Kuipers et al, 1994;Allefs et al, 1995;Borovkov et al, 1996;Hefferon et al, 1997).
