Linkage map construction and QTL mapping for morphological traits in Ipomoea trifida, a diploid sweetpotato relative. [PDF]

Plant Genome
Abstract Ipomoea trifida G. Don (2n = 2x = 30) is considered the closest known diploid relative and a wild ancestor of the autohexaploid sweetpotato, Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam. (2n = 6x = 90). This study aimed to map quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in a diploid full‐sib population (M9 × M19) consisting of 210 progenies based on a high‐density genetic ...
