Polygenic resistance is generally quantitative without clear race specific effects. With the
onset of molecular markers technologies, the identification of chromosome regions that are …

Reinventing potato from a clonally propagated tetraploid into a seed-propagated diploid,
hybrid potato, is an important innovation in agriculture. Due to deleterious mutations, it has …

Research on diploid hybrid potato has made fast advances in recent years. In this review we
give an overview of the most recent and relevant research outcomes. We define different …

Until recently, plant breeders have depended primarily on classicaltools to develop new and
improved products for producers andconsumers. However, with the advent of biotechnology …

Potato is produced on all continents except Antarctica and is the world's third most important
food crop. Potato production has increased dramatically in develo** countries in the past …

Shapes of edible plant organs vary dramatically among and within crop plants. To explain
and ultimately employ this variation towards crop improvement, we determined the genetic …

The impetus for this book arose out of my previous book, The Evolution of Life Histories
(Roff, 1992). In that book I presented a single chapter on quanti tative genetic theory …

Assessment of genomic DNA sequence variation and genotype calling in autotetraploids
implies the ability to distinguish among five possible alternative allele copy number states …

Genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) are widely used in diploid species to study
complex traits in diversity and breeding populations, but GWAS software tailored to …
