Genome-wide association study identifies candidate genes for glycoalkaloid biosynthesis in tetraploid potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tubers

Abstract Background Steroidal glycoalkaloids (SGAs), derived from cholesterol, act as natural defenses against pathogens and pests. In cultivated potatoes, α-solanine and α-chaconine are the primary SGAs, distributed throughout the plant, with their biosynthesis mechanisms differing across various t...
