Read how genotyping and GWAS map genetic loci linked to tuber micronutrient content and nominate candidate genes for breeding.
Key Takeaways
- 288-accession tetraploid panel was phenotyped for Fe, Zn, Cu, and Mn
- GWAS using GBS-derived SNPs identified 16 significant marker-trait associations
- Major locus for manganese explained roughly 20% of phenotypic variance
