Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: The principal phenotypic determinants of market class in carrot-the size and shape of the root-are under primarily additive, but also highly polygenic, genetic control. The size and shape of carrot roots are the primary determinants not only of yield, but also market class. These quantitative phenotypes have historically been challenging to objectively evaluate, and thus subjective visual assessment...
