Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Diverse groups of carrot cultivars have been developed to meet consumer demands and industry needs. Varietal groups of the cultivated carrot are defined based on the shape of roots. However, little is known about the genetic basis of root shape determination. METHODS: Here, we used 307 carrot plants from 103 open-pollinated cultivars for a genome wide association study to identify genomic regions...
