Quantitative Trait Analysis of the Kelp Undaria pinnatifida Cultivated in Goheung, Republic of Korea

摘要: The kelp, Undaria pinnatifida, is a popular traditional food in the Republic of Korea. Here, we examine quantitative traits three cultivars this namely ‘Kamaishi’, ‘Kijang’, and ‘Myeongecheon’. These are adapted for growth Goheung area, Jeollanamdo, Growth parameters assessed monthly at Myeongcheon Gyedo aquafarms between January May 2003. Five environmental conditions two analyzed terms patterns, relationships among traits, genotype (cultivar) × environment (aquafarm) interactions, principal components these interactions. Descriptive (scatter plots) inferential (correlation regression) analyses reveal that interaction quantitative. Principal component analysis (PCA) reveals first explains around 83% 77% total sample variance aquafarms, respectively. When economically valuable considered, cultivar rates highest aquafarm performance ‘Kamaishi’ superior to other cultivars.
