Abstract: Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) today is the fifth most significant crop worldwide after wheat, maize, rice and sugar cane. Conventionally intogressing agronomic traits in potato is considered laborious and time consuming task because of sexuality barriers between wild and cultivated potatoes. However, potato has gone through genetic manipulations with the advent of genetic engineering technologies. These technologies have helped the researchers to introduce traits of economic importance. Several studies for abiotic (i.e. drought, chilling, heat, salt) tolerances and improvement in nutrient quality have been documented. Modern day technologies have emerged as a necessary tool in potato breeding programs, strengthening classical strategies to improve yield and yield contributing factors. The present review article describes the genetic improvements in potato by scientists worldwide utilizing modern biotechnological approaches to enahnce abiotic tolerance in crop along with the future prospects of the transgenic potato.
