Assessment of the roles and farmer-preferred traits of sweetpotato in a crop-livestock farming system in Rwanda: implications for breeding dual-purpose varieties

Open Agriculture, 2020
In Rwanda, sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas [L.] Lam) is a highly valued crop in a crop-livestock mixed farming system. The objective of this study was to assess the role of sweetpotato in the crop-livestock farming system, to identify farmer-preferred ...

Genotype × Environment Interaction in Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas L.): Assessing Stability of Yield per Plant Across Six Diverse Environments

International Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Genotype × environment (G × E) interaction is a key factor influencing the selection of stable and high‐yielding sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) cultivars across diverse agroecological zones. The complexity of G × E interaction often leads to biased yield estimates in multienvironment trials, hindering phenotypic selection and impede breeding ...

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.

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.

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

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.

Deployment and analysis of instance segmentation algorithm for in‐field yield estimation of sweet potatoes

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.
