Tuber size and shape, colorimetric characteristics of tuber skin and
flesh, and tuber defect susceptibility are all factors that influence
the adoption of potato cultivars. Despite the importance of these
characteristics, our understanding of their inheritance is limited by
our inability to precisely measure these features on the scale needed to
evaluate breeding populations. To alleviate this bottleneck, we have
developed a low-cost, semi-automated workflow to capture data and
quantify each of these characteristics using machine vision. This
workflow was applied to assess the phenotypic variation present within
189 F1 progeny of the A08241 breeding population and map the genetic
basis of tuber characteristics. Several medium-to-large effect,
quantitative trait loci (QTL) were found to be associated with different
measurements of tuber shape. These results indicate that quantitative
measurements acquired using machine vision methods are reliable,
heritable, and can be used to map and select upon multiple traits
simultaneously in structured potato breeding populations.%
