Abstract: Potato is the fourth important food after rice, corn and wheat in the world. Nowadays, the staple food of potato is a hot topic,because its core advantages are high yield, barren resistance, low water consumption, and easy to manufacture,etc.. Those advantages undoubtedly have great attractive in China because of cultivated land and water resources relativly shortage. At present, 45 commercial cultivations of genetically modified potato were approved to plant in the world with the traits of insect-resistant, virus-resistant and quality improvement. Some of them will be assessed safety by Chinese government. On the basis of the status, this paper investigated the research progress of genetically modified potatoes in domestic and overseas, commercialized approval and biosafety accessment policy.  The paper was expected to provide the informative reference for the government to carry out safety inspection and draft the standards.

Key words: genetically modified potatoes, safety inspection, commercialize

摘要： 马铃薯是仅次于水稻、玉米、小麦的世界第四大食用作物。马铃薯主粮化已经成为时下热议的话题之一，其核心优势是产量高、耐瘠薄、消耗水资源少、易于加工等。在耕地和水资源相对紧缺的中国，这些优点无疑具有非常大的吸引力。目前，全球共批准商业化种植的转基因马铃薯40余种，主要性状为：抗病、抗虫和品质改良等，其中部分产品即将在我国申请转基因生物安全证书。详细阐述了转基因马铃薯主要性状的特点、国内外研究进展、审批情况与安全评价的政策，以期为我国政府部门的安全监管及检测标准制定提供参考。
