Genome-Wide Association Study Reveals Significant Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism Marker Detected for Fusarium Wilt Disease Resistance in Louisiana Sweetpotato Germplasm.

Abstract excerpt

Fusarium wilt is caused by the soilborne fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. batatas and affects sweetpotato by causing significant damage to crop yield and quality. The use of resistant cultivars is one of the most effective ways to reduce disease incidence. Screening for the disease is time-consuming and resource-draining. Trait-linked molecular markers represent an efficient, stable, and alternative screening...
