Summary: | Browning is a common problem that occurs during potato processing; it is typically resolved by adding chemicals during the production process. However, there is a need to develop potato varieties that are resistant to browning due to a growing consumer interest in healthier diets. This study initially identified 275 potato varieties that are resistant to browning; these were narrowed down to eight varieties, with four of them being highly resistant. A hybrid population was developed by crossing the highly resistant CIP395109.29 with the easily browned Kexin 23. Bulked segregant analysis (BSA) was conducted, which identified 21 potato genes associated with anti-browning properties through sequencing data analysis and organization. The findings of this study lay a solid groundwork for future research on breeding potatoes with anti-browning traits, offer molecular markers for identifying anti-browning varieties, and serve as a valuable reference for further investigations into potato browning mechanisms. |
