Abstract excerpt
Tuber shape in potato is commonly regarded as displaying continuous variation, yet at the diploid level phenotypes can be discerned visually, having round or long tubers. Inheritance of qualitative tuber shape can be explained by a single locus Ro, round being dominant to long. With restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) the Ro locus was mapped on chromosome 10. Tuber shape was also studied as a...
