Abstract excerpt

Taro leaf blight (TLB), the most destructive disease of taro caused by the oomycete Phytophthora colocasiae. An effective strategy for controlling this disease is the development of resistant cultivars. In this study, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted on 265 taro genotypes to identify genomic regions and putative candidate genes associated with TLB resistance and yield traits. The field...
