“…Generally speaking, after long-term cultivation, crops in various growing regions could gradually form local advantageous cultivars, which often have certain genetic differences from the cultivars in the other regions. This phenomenon was commonly found in the major vegetatively propagated crops such as potato ( Wang et al, 2019 ), sweet potato ( Behera et al, 2024 ; Minemba, Gleeson, Veneklaas, & Ryan, 2019 ), yam ( Dwivedi et al, 2023 ), and garlic ( Parreño et al, 2023 ). However, the genotypes of these local cultivar RPTs were not identified by specialized agencies.…”
