Evolution of Sweet Potato (<i>Ipomoea batatas</i> [L.] Lam.) Breeding in Cuba. [PDF]

Plants (Basel)
This study analyzed the genetic progress of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) breeding in Cuba over the past 50 years by field trials comparing traditional and improved varieties. Improved varieties significantly outperformed traditional ones in tuberous root yield, with an accumulated genetic gain of 0.20–0.37 t ha−1 per year, translating to a 256% yield

The Resin Glycosides from the Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas L. LAM.)

Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 2008
Four new and two known ether-soluble resin glycosides were isolated from popular sweet potato (the roots of Ipomoea batatas L. LAM., Kokei 14 go, Convolvulaceae) in Japan. Unlike ester-type dimers, batatins I and II, obtained from other sweet potato (Ipomoea batabas var. batatas), the glycosides were tetra or pentasaccharide monomers in which the sugar
