From breeding to genome design: A genomic makeover for potatoes

Potato breeding efforts have long been hindered by the genetic consequences of millennia of clonal propagation. To mitigate genomic constraints, Zhang et al. leverage an unprecedented scale of sequencing and marker-assisted breeding to unlock traits that have not been possible through classical bree...

Zusammenfassung:Potato breeding efforts have long been hindered by the genetic consequences of millennia of clonal propagation. To mitigate genomic constraints, Zhang et al. leverage an unprecedented scale of sequencing and marker-assisted breeding to unlock traits that have not been possible through classical breeding, providing a blueprint for plant genome design.
