Screening of Potato Varieties for the Detection of Early – Maturity Traits and QTL analysis in Tetraploid Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.)
Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the fourth most consumed crop worldwide and is an important industrial raw material. Potato cultivars are classified as early-, mid- or late-maturing, based on their maturity period. Early-maturing varieties complete their life cycle in 60 -70 days and 85-95 days in case of mid- and late-maturing varieties, respectively. Earliness gives the opportunity to catch the market value and grab the high rates of potatoes
