Abstract excerpt
Enzymatic discoloration (ED) of potato tubers was investigated in an attempt to unravel the underlying genetic factors. Both enzyme and substrate concentration have been reported to influence the degree of discoloration and as such this trait can be regarded as polygenic. The diploid mapping population C x E, consisting of 249 individuals, was assayed for the degree of ED and levels of chlorogenic acid and...
