Genome-wide association study identified candidate genes controlling continuous storage root formation and bulking in hexaploid sweetpotato

Abstract Background Continuous storage root formation and bulking (CSRFAB) in sweetpotato is an important trait from agronomic and biological perspectives. Information about the molecular mechanisms underlying CSRFAB traits is lacking. Results Here, as a first step toward understanding the genetic b...
