Intraspecific Genetic Diversity Analyses of Yam (<i>Dioscorea polystachya</i> Turcz.) Based on DUS Traits and SSR Molecular Markers. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The 113 D. polystachya accessions exhibited substantial genetic diversity, clearly distinguished using 19 SSR markers and 50 DUS traits. A refined set of 14 core DUS traits was established, significantly improving variety identification efficiency. These selected markers and traits provide valuable tools for genetic research and support the utilization
