Potato Response to Drought Stress: Physiological and Growth Basis
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Drought poses a major challenge to the production of potatoes worldwide. Climate change is predicted to further aggravate this challenge by intensifying potato crop exposure to increased drought severity and frequency. There is an ongoing effort to adapt

Priority quality traits for gendered sweetpotato breeding in Mozambique
Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2023 IntroductionSweetpotato breeders strive to develop varieties that address productivity challenges farmers face in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). However, adoption of these varieties is low, partly attributed to limited attention to attributes desired by the ...

Impact of climate change on the potato crop and biodiversity in its center of origin
Open Agriculture, 2018 The Andean region is the most important center of potato diversity in the world. The global warming trend which has taken place since the 1950s, that is 2-3 times the reported global warming and the continuous presence of extreme events makes this region
