topics (OpenAlex): Plant Virus Research Studies; Plant Pathogenic Bacteria Studies; Plant Disease Resistance and Genetics
TL;DR: The research supports the hypothesis that sweetpotato is an autopolyploid and suggests that some preferential pairing occurs insweetpotato. (via Semantic Scholar)

author keywords: Ipomoea batatas; sweet potato; planting material; degeneration; viruses; virus-free; sweet potato feathery mottle virus; SPFMV; Uganda
topics (OpenAlex): Plant Virus Research Studies; Plant and Fungal Interactions Research; Plant Pathogenic Bacteria Studies
TL;DR: Symptomless sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) plants obtained from farmers' fields in each of the main sweet potato growing regions of Uganda were tested by nitro-cellulose membrane enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (NCM-ELISA) for sweet potato feathery mottle virus (SPFMV) and SPFMV alone was identified by NCM- ELISA.
