Roots, tubers and bananas: Planning and research for climate resilience [PDF]

, 2017
The CGIAR Research Program (CRP) on Roots, Tubers and Bananas (RTB) includes vegetatively propagated staple crops linked by common breeding, seed, and postharvest issues, and by the frequency with which women are involved in their production and use. RTB

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

Resequencing of sweetpotato germplasm resources reveals key loci associated with multiple agronomic traits

Horticulture Research, 2022
Sweetpotato is an important crop that exhibits hexaploidy and high heterozygosity, which limits gene mining for important agronomic traits. Here, 314 sweetpotato germplasm resources were deeply resequenced, and 4 599 509 SNPs and 846 654 InDels were ...

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.

Genome-wide survey and expression analysis of GRAS transcription factor family in sweetpotato provides insights into their potential roles in stress response

BMC Plant Biology, 2022
The plant-specific GRAS transcription factors play pivotal roles in various adverse environmental conditions. Numerous GRAS genes have been explored and characterized in different plants, however, comprehensive survey on GRASs in sweetpotato is lagging ...

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

Phenolics extraction from sweet potato peels: modelling and optimization by response surface modelling and artificial neural network [PDF]

, 2016
Sweet potato peels (SPP) are a major waste generated during root processing and currently have little commercial value. Phenolics with free radical scavenging activity from SPP may represent a possible added-value product for the food industry.
