Abstract excerpt
For many commercial potato cultivars, tuber yield is optimal at average daytime temperatures in the range of 14-22 °C. Further rises in ambient temperature can reduce or completely inhibit potato tuber production, with damaging consequences for both producer and consumer. The aim of this study was to use a genetic screen based on a model tuberization assay to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with...
