Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates the genetic influences on the sensory and textural qualities of boiled and pounded yam, focusing on white Guinea yam, to enhance its acceptability for consumption.
- - Researchers conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) involving 184 yam genotypes and identified 13 significant single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers associated with quality traits, explaining a portion of the variation in these qualities.
- - Key genetic regions on chromosomes 7 and 15 were linked to quality attributes, with several genes related to carbohydrate metabolism identified, laying the groundwork for future breeding efforts using marker-assisted selection in white Guinea yam.
