Exploiting Erianthus diversity to enhance sugarcane cultivars.[W1024] [PDF]

, 2020
Introgression of Erianthus arundinaceus into the SRA sugarcane-breeding program has been a goal for researchers for many years. The Erianthus genome was finally accessible to sugarcane breeders with the identification in 2005 of the first Saccharum ...

Transcriptional landscape of sweetpotato root tip development at the single-cell level

BMC Plant Biology
Single-cell transcriptome sequencing (scRNA-seq) is a powerful tool for describing the transcriptome dynamics of plant development but has not yet been utilized to analyze the tissue ontology of sweetpotato.

Diseases of Sweetpotato

, 2023
Sweetpotato is the sixth most important food crop globally. Whereas in developed countries like Canada, Europe, and the United States, it is considered a vegetable, it is a major staple food crop in sub-Saharan Africa. Cropping systems and varietal preferences vary between temperate and tropical countries.

Twenty years of cucurbit breeding research at the World Vegetable Center

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
Abstract The contribution of cucurbit crops to global food and nutrition security is immense. They are economically and nutritionally important to smallholder farmers in Asia, who account for 81% of global cucurbit production. World Vegetable Center (WorldVeg) has been focused for 20 years on four species: bitter gourd (Momordica charantia), ridge ...

Genetic control of dry matter, starch and sugar content in sweetpotato

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science, 2017
Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas L. (Lam)) is a nutritious food security crop for most tropical households, but its utilisation is very low in Ghana compared to the other root and tuber crops due to lack of end-user-preferred cultivars.

IbPIF1 confers stem nematode resistance by regulating secondary metabolites in sweet potato

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 10, Page 4650-4664, October 2025.
Summary The stem nematode (Ditylenchus destructor Thorne) is a pervasive and destructive plant‐parasitic nematode worldwide, inflicting severe agricultural and economic losses in a wide range of crops. Despite its global impact, the molecular mechanisms underlying plant resistance to this pathogen remain poorly understood. Our previous studies in sweet

Agronomic and economic benefits of rice–sweetpotato rotation in lowland rice cropping systems in Uganda

Open Agriculture
A crop rotation study was conducted in the Agoro Rice scheme from mid-2015 to 2017 to determine the effect of sweetpotato–rice rotation in the lowlands on financial returns and sweetpotato root, sweetpotato vine, and rice yields compared to monocropping.

First Field Collection of the Rough Sweetpotato Weevil, Blosyrus asellus (Olivier) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), on Hawaii Island, with Notes on Detection Methods [PDF]

, 2016
Rough sweetpotato weevil, Blosyrus asellus (Olivier) (Coleoptera: Cur- culionidae), was first detected in the state of Hawaii at a commercial Okinawan sweetpotato farm in Waipio, Oahu, on 14 November 2008. Damage by this weevil species differs from other
