Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Tuber bruising in tetraploid potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) is a trait of economic importance, as it affects tubers' fitness for sale. Understanding the genetic components affecting tuber bruising is a key step in developing potato lines with increased resistance to bruising. As the tetraploid setting renders genetic analyses more complex, there is still much to learn about this complex phenotype. Here,...
