Resumen
Descripción
This study investigated the genetic basis of postharvest physiological deterioration (PPD) in cassava using genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and both traditional visual scoring and AI-based phenotyping. Researchers analyzed 298 cassava accessions with two genotyping platforms and identified several significant genetic markers linked to PPD tolerance, particularly on chromosomes 1 and 12. The findings suggest that AI-powered phenotyping provides a more consistent and reproducible method for assessing PPD and offers valuable targets for breeding cassava varieties with improved shelf life and delayed deterioration.
