The paper develops a resource of 97 dihaploid potato clones to aid diploid breeding, identifies diversity in the maturity locus, and highlights structural genomic variation.

The paper develops a convex optimization framework for mate allocation in polyploid populations to control inbreeding and predict heterosis, showing improved genetic gain with pedigree kinship.

The paper develops a mid-density targeted GBS assay for potato using DArTag technology and evaluates its performance with polyBreedR software for imputation and trait tracking.

The paper develops KASP markers for the potato virus Y resistance gene Rychc using whole-genome resequencing data to aid in breeding resistant cultivars.

The paper uses haplotype and QTL analysis in diploid potato breeding to identify and fix favorable alleles for developing inbred-hybrid varieties.

The paper introduces StageWise, an R package for genomic selection in multi-environment, multi-trait plant breeding, showing improved model fit and selection indices.

The paper designs and validates a KASP marker for the potato late blight resistance gene RB/Rpi-blb1, showing 100% accuracy in a diversity panel.

The paper investigates the genetic architectures of vine and skin maturity in tetraploid potato using genome-wide association and linkage mapping, identifying key QTL and confirming their biological basis through haplotype analysis.

This study compares clonal breeding strategies using stochastic simulation to determine their genetic gain per unit cost, finding that reciprocal recurrent selection (RRS) is optimal in diploids with high genomic selection intensity but not in autopolyploids.

This paper develops software for QTL mapping in tetraploid and diploid diallel populations, demonstrating its effectiveness in detecting QTLs and improving model fit through non-additive effects.

The paper develops a statistical framework for haplotype reconstruction in tetraploid F1 populations and implements it in the software PolyOrigin, demonstrating its effectiveness on a potato dataset.

The paper identifies a late blight resistance gene in Payette Russet potato, homologous to R2, and develops a marker for its detection.

The paper uses image analysis to quantify potato skin color and set, finding high heritability and environmental correlations, and highlights collinearity among color traits.

The paper develops a method to convert tetraploid GBS data into diploidized genotype calls and evaluates its performance using Urochloa hybrids.

This paper evaluates genomic prediction methods for autotetraploid blueberry using continuous genotyping and relationship matrices, finding marker-based models improve prediction accuracy and reduce computational time.
