TL;DR: A major dominant QTL for root-knot nematode (RKN) resistance is discovered using a high-density integrated genetic linkage map of hexaploid sweetpotato, which represents a significant step forward in understanding of the genetic architecture of RKN resistance and sets the stage for future utilization of genomics-assisted breeding inSweetpotato breeding programs.
