Multiple food security crops in the Andes are tubers including mashua, oca, ullucu and potato (shown here with MSU's Robin Buell (center) in Peru). Buell, along with colleagues, will use the NSF grant to identify potential genetic keys that could ensure production of these tuber crops in the future.
