Agronomic and economic benefits of rice–sweetpotato rotation in lowland rice cropping systems in Uganda

Open Agriculture
A crop rotation study was conducted in the Agoro Rice scheme from mid-2015 to 2017 to determine the effect of sweetpotato–rice rotation in the lowlands on financial returns and sweetpotato root, sweetpotato vine, and rice yields compared to monocropping.

Genetic control of dry matter, starch and sugar content in sweetpotato

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science, 2017
Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas L. (Lam)) is a nutritious food security crop for most tropical households, but its utilisation is very low in Ghana compared to the other root and tuber crops due to lack of end-user-preferred cultivars.

Natural allelic variation of basic helix–loop–helix transcription factor 25 regulates carotenoid biosynthesis in sweet potato

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 7, Page 2627-2644, July 2025.
Summary Carotenoid‐rich orange‐fleshed sweet potato (OFSP) is an important staple diet and source of nutrition in developing countries, including Africa and Asia. However, the regulation of carotenoid biosynthesis remains to be better understood. A natural allelic variation closely linked to carotenoid biosynthesis was identified in the promoter region

AFLP Fingerprinting and Genetic Diversity of Main Sweetpotato Varieties in China

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2012
AFLP fingerprinting of the 98 main sweetpotato varieties planted in China has been constructed. Using 17 AFLP primer combinations which were selected from 1 208 primer combinations and generated the most amounts of polymorphic bands, AFLP analysis of the

SSR fingerprinting of 203 sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) varieties

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2018
Simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers have been shown to be a powerful tool for varieties identification in plants. However, SSR fingerprinting of sweetpotato varieties has been a little reported. In this study, a total of 1294 SSR primer pairs, including
