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

Management of cover crops and soil amendments affect yield outcomes during organic transition

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract This study sought to assess the impact of cover cropping and high rates of soil amendments on crop yield during organic transition. Compost, biochar, or a “50/50” mixture of the two on a C‐equivalent basis were applied at a rate of 8 Mg C ha−1 per varying application regimens, with and without cover crops, at two locations on the North ...

The afterlife of a horizontally transferred gene: Expansion and functional diversification of a C1A peptidase in wild Hordeum species

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) can accelerate plant adaptation, but the evolutionary fate of newly acquired nuclear genes is often unclear. Here, we analyzed a papain‐like cysteine peptidase horizontally transferred from Panicoideae to wild Hordeum (Poaceae). Using chromosome‐level assemblies of 21 diploid Hordeum species, we assessed presence/

Transforming Life Science Through Chromosome‐Level Genome Assemblies

Genes to Cells, Volume 31, Issue 5, September 2026.
Chromosome‐level genome assemblies provide a framework for “glocal biology” in species of interest, linking local molecular features to chromosome architecture and evolutionary context. When integrated with pangenome analysis, comparative multi‐omics, genome language models, and experimental approaches, these assemblies enable hypothesis generation and

Cucurbit Leaf Crumple Virus: An Important Pathogen of Cucurbit and Snap Bean Crops

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.
Cucurbit leaf crumple virus (CuLCrV) is an emerging pathogen in the New World. High whitefly abundance and transmission efficiency, mixed infections, weed reservoirs and limited host resistance challenge cucurbit and snap bean production. ABSTRACT Taxonomy Cucurbit leaf crumple virus (CuLCrV); Begomovirus cucurbitae; Geminiviridae; Geplafuvirales ...

A Hydroponics Assay Distinguishes between S-metolachlor-tolerant and -sensitive Sweetpotato Cultivars

HortScience, 2020
Weed management is an important component of sweetpotato production. Currently, S-metolachlor is the only herbicide registered in sweetpotato that has some suppressive effect on nutsedge species (Cyperus spp.).

Sweet Potato Gene Clusters Control Anthocyanin Biosynthesis and Leaf Morphology

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, Page 4500-4527, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) exhibits diversity in pigmentation and leaf morphology, yet the genetic architecture and regulatory organisation underlying these traits remain poorly resolved, particularly with respect to organ‐specific control.

Data on correlation among LAI, T/R, anthocyanin and starch content in purple fleshed sweetpotato during different growth stages

Data in Brief, 2018
Increasing demands for bio-products such as starch and anthocyanin stimulate researches towards purple-fleshed sweetpotato. Therefore, the aim of this complementary work is to identify the relationship between leaf area index, T/R value, starch and ...
