Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Significant SNP loci were annotated to 6 putative candidate genes associated with TLB resistance.
- Observation Significant SNP loci were annotated to 1 putative candidate gene associated with number of suckers.
- Observation Significant SNP loci were annotated to 2 putative candidate genes associated with corm weight.
- Observation Significant SNP loci were annotated to 2 putative candidate genes associated with cormel weight.
- Observation Significant SNP loci were annotated to 1 putative candidate gene associated with total tuber weight.
- Association A significant SNP 83978367 on chromosome 11 co-localizes with corm weight and total tuber weight, possibly indicating pleiotropic effects or closely linked genes.
- Observation The GWAS failed to detect significant associations with plant height and vigor in taro.
