“…DRH lines have shown plasticity in fruit set in previous studies ( Peterson et al., 2016 ; Enciso-Rodriguez et al., 2019 ) and variation may occur due to environmental effects, such as temperature, photoperiod, and humidity as reported in other members of the Solanum genus (such as S. carolinense and S. peruvianum ) or species under the GSI system like citrus ( Webb and Williams, 1988 ; Stone et al., 2006 ; Mena-Ali and Stephenson, 2007 ; Enciso-Rodriguez et al., 2019 ; Montalt et al., 2022 ). Plant age is another possible confounding factor when quantifying SI, as SI breaks down in older plants of S. tuberosum and other Solanum species ( Eijlander et al., 1997 ; Stephenson et al., 2003 ; Travers et al., 2004 ). To account for the effect of plant age, plant fertility was recorded at one month and two and a half months after the plants were transferred from tissue culture.…”
