Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Tuber appearance is highly variable in the Andean cultivated potato germplasm. The diploid backcross mapping population 'DMDD' derived from the recently sequenced genome 'DM' represents a sample of the allelic variation for tuber shape and eye depth present in the Andean landraces. Here we evaluate the utility of morphological descriptors for tuber shape for identification of genetic loci responsible...
