Genetic diversity determined by agronomic traits and SSR markers in two South American orange鈥恌leshed sweetpotato breeding populations
with potential for population hybrid breeding.
Abstract
Orange-fleshed sweetpotato (OFSP) breeding populations have gained importance for food security and health reasons. This study鈥檚 main objectives were to determine genetic diversity in parental material of two OFSP populations (PJ and PZ) relative to mega-clones (MCs) using agronomic traits and simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and to determine whether PJ and PZ are mutually heterotic by developing a PJ 脳 PZ hybrid population (H0).
