L8708×Z020

This F₂ population segregates for plant height, shoot biomass, root shape, and root color. This population was derived from a cross between L8708, an orange inbred line with a medium-long storage root and compact shoots, and Z020, a yellow, cultivated landrace from Uzbekistan with a short, blunt-tipped storage root with broad, prostrate leaves. A single F₁ plant was selected from this cross and selfed to produce the F₂ population.
