Transgenic potato- are resistant to fungus Phytophthora infestans that causes the late blight of potato, one of the most devastating disease.
Transgenic golden rise Taipei is rich in vitamin A and prevents blindness
Transgenic Tomato 'Flavr Savr' are bruise resistant and are hence suitable for storage and transport with longer shelf life
Transgenic papaya are resistant to ring root virus
