Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Potatoes require phosphorus (P) for growth, tuber production and starch quality, but their small and shallow root system limits the nutrient acquisition. This results in excessive use of mineral P fertilisers, leading to environmental and economic concerns due to resource depletion. Identifying potato genotypes with high P efficiency and understanding the underlying genes responsible are crucial for...
