Plant Breeding, Volume 145, Issue 1, Page 85-94, February 2026.ABSTRACT Use of molecular markers has improved the analysis of genetic variation by eliminating environmental influences on genotype performance. The objective of this study was to assess the genetic diversity (GD) and population structure of 327 sweetpotato genotypes sourced from the major sweetpotato‐growing regions of Zimbabwe and from the ...

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.Abstract Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. batatas, the causal agent of Fusarium wilt disease, was once the most damaging pathogen of sweetpotato in the United States. Breeding for cultivar resistance has largely addressed this issue, however, little is known about the genetic basis for resistance.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 IntroductionThe higher plant transcription factor C2H2 zinc finger protein (C2H2-ZFP) is essential for plant growth, development, and stress response. There are limited studies on C2H2-ZFP genes in sweetpotato, despite a substantial number of C2H2-ZFP ...

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Long terminal repeat retrotransposons (LTR‐RTs) are recognised as a significant evolutionary force capable of shaping the structure and function of the genomes in eukaryotes, including animals, plants, and fungi. However, much remains largely unknown about how LTR‐RTs influence the evolution of fungi at the chromosomal level.

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2022 Geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase (GGPS) plays an important role in the biosynthesis of carotenoids. In a previous study, the IbGGPS gene was isolated from a sweetpotato, Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam., line Nongdafu 14 with high carotenoid contents, but ...

Dynamics of Fusarium Infection in Melon (Cucumis melo): From Roots to Fruits
Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 1, January/February 2026.Roots harboured the highest diversity of Fusarium species and served as the primary entry point for infection. Fusarium incidence increased as plants aged, with all parts showing fungal growth by 45 days after transplanting, indicating progressive colonisation throughout the growth cycle.

Commodity risk assessment of Petunia spp. and Calibrachoa spp. unrooted cuttings from Uganda
EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to evaluate the likelihood of pest freedom at entry in the EU, including both regulated and non‐regulated pests, potentially associated with unrooted cuttings of the genera Petunia and Calibrachoa produced under physical isolation in Uganda.

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 8, Issue 1, December 2025.Abstract Shape estimation of sweet potato (SP) storage roots is inherently challenging due to their varied size and shape characteristics. Even measuring “simple” metrics, such as length and diameter, requires significant time investments either directly in‐field or afterward using automated graders.
