Abstract excerpt
Tetraploid potato is the most important vegetable food crop in the world. However, genetic gains from modern breeding efforts have been limited due to tetrasomic inheritance, the accumulation of deleterious mutations during domestication, and subsequent clonal propagation during modern breeding. In this study, we analyzed previously identified evolutionarily constrained genomic regions in the potato genome...
