Chilling and Heat Stress-Induced Physiological Changes and MicroRNA-Related Mechanism in Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas L.)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) is an important industrial and food crop. Both chilling and heat stress inhibits sweetpotato growth and development and then affects yield.

SWEETPOTATO LATEX: EFFECT ON SWEETPOTATO WEEVIL FEEDING AND OVIPOSITION

HortScience, 1993
Latex is known to act as a natural defense system in some laticiferous plants against certain herbivores. The importance of latex produced by the sweetpotato, Ipomoea batatas, Lam., as a defense mechanism against the sweetpotato weevil, Cylas formicarius elegantulus

Belonolaimus longicaudatus Host Status and Pathogenicity on Sweetpotato

Journal of Nematology, 2022
Sting nematode is acutely damaging to a wide range of crops and is relatively common in sandy soils in the southeastern United States. Sweetpotato is an important crop in this region, and its production may be expanding to localities where sting nematode

Surveying the Sweetpotato Rhizosphere, Endophyte, and Surrounding Soil Microbiomes at Two North Carolina Farms Reveals Underpinnings of Sweetpotato Microbiome Community Assembly

Phytobiomes Journal, 2019
Farmers grow sweetpotatoes worldwide and some sub-Saharan African and Asian diets include sweetpotato as a staple, yet the sweetpotato microbiome is conspicuously less studied relative to crops such as maize, soybean, and wheat.

Development of SNP markers using RNA-seq technology and tetra-primer ARMS-PCR in sweetpotato

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2017
The information of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) is quite unknown in sweetpotato. In this study, two sweetpotato varieties (Xushu 18 and Xu 781) were sequenced by Illumina technology, as well as de novo transcriptome assembly, functional ...

Breeding Cultivars for Resistance to the African Sweetpotato Weevils, Cylas puncticollis and Cylas brunneus, in Uganda: A Review of the Current Progress

Insects, 2023
In sub-Saharan Africa, sweetpotato weevils are the major pests of cultivated sweetpotato, causing estimated losses of between 60% and 100%, primarily during dry spells. The predominantly cryptic feeding behavior of Cylas spp.

Performance of Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) as Influenced by Time of Planting Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas L.) as Intercrop

Annals of Tropical Research, 2016
One common approach to increase crop production is through multiple cropping systems. This study was conducted to (1) evaluate the growth and yield of peanut as influenced by time of planting sweetpotato as intercrop; (2) determine the appropriate time of
