Abstract excerpt
Hybrid potato breeding aims to transition potato from clonal tetraploid to seed-propagated diploid. However, this process is hindered by historically accumulated deleterious variants, resulting in weak field performance of existing homozygous inbreds and compromised heterosis in hybrids. To accelerate genome design for hybrid potato breeding, it is essential to understand how deleterious variation was reshaped...
