Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: The yellow margin (ym) gene was mapped to a 30-kb genomic region in potato and the mutation of a pectate lyase gene led to this phenotype. The practice of clonally propagating potato (Solanum tuberosum L.), which has been lasted for thousands of years, has caused the accumulation of deleterious alleles. Despite yellow margin (ym) being a common cause of a detrimental weak-vigor phenotype and reduced...
