Figure 1. Breeding strategy and pedigree of the Apios americana collection.

Figure 1

(a) Breeding strategy utilized by Dr. Blackmon and Mr. Reynolds during 1985–1994 at Louisiana State University Agricultural Experiment Station in Baton Rouge, LA, for developing elite genotypes used in this study. This information is based on an interpretation of the field books of Dr. Blackmon and Mr. Reynolds. (b) Partial maternal lineage information that was traced from the field books for 35 of the 53 genotypes. The genotypes that produced seeds were recorded as maternal parents, and the genotypes that were growing close to the maternal parent were recorded as likely paternal parents. Hence, there are usually multiple paternal parents listed for a genotype. The genotypes in bold are the ones that exist in the collection used in this study.
