Rapid, simple and accessible phytonutritional assessment methods in agricultural research

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 105, Issue 12, Page 6516-6527, September 2025.
Abstract BACKGROUND Agricultural research with respect to studying the effects of genetic background and environmental conditions on plant and commercial parameters is ample. Nevertheless, data on the effects on nutritional value and phytonutritional composition are scarce, despite its significance to the consumer, as well as its importance in ...

Phosphorus fertilizer impacts on sweetpotato yield and nutrient dynamics in the soil, roots, and leaves

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 89, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
Abstract Phosphorus (P) is a macronutrient influencing soil fertility and nutrient dynamics. To investigate the effects of phosphorus application on soil nutrient availability and sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas [L.] Lam) productivity, a 3‐year field experiment was conducted using cultivars Beauregard B14 and Orleans in Pontotoc, MS.

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 (Summers) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), was tested.

SWEETPOTATO CANOPY GEOMETRY

HortScience, 1993
The sweetpotato, unlike most vegetable crops, exhibits a vining growth habit where vertical development is sacrificed for rapid radial expansion. Considerable genetic diversity is present in vine length within the sweetpotato genepool. To test the relationship between the degree of vining (land area covered during the growing season) and yield, 5 vine ...

Characterization of volatile compounds profiles and identification of key volatile and odor-active compounds in 40 sweetpotato (Ipomoea Batatas L.) varieties

Food Chemistry: X
Sweetpotato with different flesh colors exhibits significant differences in flavor. Nevertheless, research on the identification of the key aromatic compounds in sweetpotato is scarce.

Hexaploid sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) may not be a true type to either auto- or allopolyploid.

PLoS ONE, 2020
To better define the sweetpotato polyploidy, we sought to reconstruct phylogenies of its subgenomes based on hybridization networks that could trace reticulate lineages of differentiated homoeolog triplets of multiple single-copy genes. In search of such

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.

Deep learning‐based laser weed control compared to conventional herbicide application across three vegetable production systems

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 8, Page 4922-4936, August 2025.
In 2024, trials in New Jersey and New York evaluated the effectiveness of laser weeding with a Carbon Robotics unit compared with herbicides on beets, spinach, and peas. Results demonstrated that laser weeding was as effective or superior to herbicides in controlling weeds, reducing biomass by ≥97% and boosting crop growth by ≥30%.

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.

Polyhalite as an alternative potassium fertilizer for sweetpotatoes

Agronomy Journal, Volume 117, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
Abstract Polyhalite is a mineral that contains a significant source of potassium (K). Muriate of potash (MOP) is a widely used, well‐characterized, and available source of K fertilizer. This study evaluated polyhalite as a source of K fertilizer compared to the more commonly used MOP by measuring yields, nutrient uptake, and soil K in Covington ...
