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.

Twenty years of cucurbit breeding research at the World Vegetable Center

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
Abstract The contribution of cucurbit crops to global food and nutrition security is immense. They are economically and nutritionally important to smallholder farmers in Asia, who account for 81% of global cucurbit production. World Vegetable Center (WorldVeg) has been focused for 20 years on four species: bitter gourd (Momordica charantia), ridge ...

IbPIF1 confers stem nematode resistance by regulating secondary metabolites in sweet potato

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 10, Page 4650-4664, October 2025.
Summary The stem nematode (Ditylenchus destructor Thorne) is a pervasive and destructive plant‐parasitic nematode worldwide, inflicting severe agricultural and economic losses in a wide range of crops. Despite its global impact, the molecular mechanisms underlying plant resistance to this pathogen remain poorly understood. Our previous studies in sweet

The bHLH Transcription Factor IbbHLH129 Positively Regulates the Cold Tolerance of Sweetpotato Seedlings by Modulating Auxin and Gibberellin Pathways

Plants
Low-temperature stress severely inhibits the growth and development of sweetpotato, restricts its planting geographical range, and frequently causes seedling death and yield reduction, posing a major threat to sweetpotato sustainable production ...

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
