“…Traits of great interest, such as tuber yield and quality, are polygenic and complex, and using MAS for individual genetic effects for these traits would not be practical for potato breeding programs (Slater et al., 2014a). While significant genetic gains have been achieved for complex traits in diploid crops from high throughput genotyping methods and advanced genetic and statistical analysis (Crossa et al., 2010; Daetwyler, Bansal, Bariana, Hayden, & Hayes, 2014; Heffner, Jannink, & Sorrells, 2011), genomic data application in autopolyploids is still developing (Bourke, Voorrips, Visser, & Maliepaard, 2018; de Bem Oliveira et al., 2019). Autopolyploid inheritance is complex due to the presence of genotypes with higher allele dosage, a higher number of genotypic classes, poor knowledge of meiotic behaviour and multivalent formation (de Bem Oliveira et al., 2019; Sharma et al., 2018; Slater et al., 2014b).…”
