Sweetpotato shows significant potential to contribute to reducing the Global Hunger Index, which reflects deficiencies in calories and micronutrients based on the components of hunger, undernourishment, under-five mortality rate, stunting and wasting. Its genetic diversity has been harnessed through breeding to increase vitamin A, iron, and zinc content, virus resistance and climate resilience for the world's food needs. Africa and India are the most food-insecure regions. The main objectives of this research were to: provide information and a knowledge base on sweetpotato breeding in Africa for biofortification of vitamin A, iron, and zinc, drought tolerance and virus resistance; recommend procedures for generating new breeding populations and varieties; and develop new tools, technologies and methods for sweetpotato improvement. The research was implemented between 2009 and 2020 in 14 collaborating African countries using introduced and local genotypes. The redesigned accelerated breeding scheme resulted in increased genetic gains for vitamin A, iron, zinc contents and virus resistance, and the release by sub-Saharan African countries of 158 varieties; 98 of them orange-fleshed; 55 varieties bred by an accelerated breeding scheme; 27 drought-tolerant and two with enhanced iron and zinc content. Our experience has demonstrated that through the use of more optimized, standardized and collaborative breeding procedures by breeding programs across Africa, it is possible to speed official sweetpotato variety release and contribute to reducing the severe micronutrient deficiencies on the continent.}, journal={Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems}, publisher={Frontiers Media SA}, author={Mwanga, Robert O.

Three measures to common scab reaction, namely percentage of scabby tubers and disease area and lesion indices, were found to be highly correlated (>0.76). Because of the large environmental effect, heritability values were zero for all three traits in MN11, but moderate to high in PA11 and ME12 (∼0.44 to 0.79). We identified a single quantitative trait locus (QTL) for lesion index in PA11, ME12, and joint analyses on linkage group 3, explaining ∼22 to 30% of the total variation. The identification of QTL haplotypes and candidate genes contributing to disease resistance can support genomics-assisted breeding approaches in the crop. }, number={10}, journal={Plant Disease}, publisher={Scientific Societies}, author={da Silva Pereira, Guilherme and Mollinari, Marcelo and Qu, Xinshun and Thill, Christian and Zeng, Zhao-Bang and Haynes, Kathleen and Yencho, G.

Ten thousand eggs of M. enterolobii were inoculated on each sweetpotato genotype grown in a 3:1 sand to soil mixture. Sixty days after inoculation, the percentage of total roots with nematode-induced galls was determined, and nematode eggs were extracted from roots. Significant differences (P < 0.001) between sweetpotato genotypes were found in all six tests for gall rating, total eggs, and eggs per gram of root. Resistant sweetpotato genotypes were calculated as final eggs per root system divided by the initial inoculum, where Pf/Pi < 1 (reproduction factor; final egg count divided by initial inoculum of 10,000 eggs), and statistical mean separations were confirmed by Fisher’s least significant difference t test. Our results indicated that 19 out of 91 tested sweetpotato genotypes were resistant to M. enterolobii. Some of the susceptible genotypes included ‘Covington,’ ‘Beauregard,’ ‘NCDM04-001’, and ‘Hernandez.’ Some of the resistant sweetpotato genotypes included ‘Tanzania,’ ‘Murasaki-29,’ ‘Bwanjule,’ ‘Dimbuka-Bukulula,’ ‘Jewel,’ and ‘Centennial.’ Most of the 19 resistant sweetpotato genotypes supported almost no M. enterolobii reproduction, with <20 eggs/g root of M. enterolobii. A number of segregants from a ‘Tanzania’ × ‘Beauregard’ cross demonstrated strong resistance to M. enterolobii observed in the ‘Tanzania’ parent. In collaboration with North Carolina State University sweetpotato breeding program, several genotypes evaluated in these tests are being used to incorporate the observed resistance to M. enterolobii into commercial sweetpotato cultivars. }, number={4}, journal={PLANT DISEASE}, publisher={Scientific Societies}, author={Schwarz, Tanner R. and Li, Chunying and Yencho, G.

This study assessed disease susceptibility of the storage root surface, storage root cambium, and slips (vine cuttings) of 48 sweetpotato cultivars, advanced breeding lines, and wild relative accessions. We also characterized the effect of storage root development on susceptibility to C. fimbriata. None of the cultivars examined at the storage root level were resistant, with most cultivars exhibiting similar levels of susceptibility. In storage roots, Jewel and Covington were the least susceptible and significantly different from White Bonita, the most susceptible cultivar. In the slip, significant differences in disease incidence were observed for above- and below-ground plant structures among cultivars, advanced breeding lines, and wild relative accessions. Burgundy and Ipomoea littoralis displayed less below-ground disease incidence compared with NASPOT 8, Sunnyside, and LSU-417, the most susceptible cultivars. Correlation of black rot susceptibility between storage roots and slips was not significant, suggesting that slip assays are not useful to predict resistance in storage roots. Immature, early-developing storage roots were comparatively more susceptible than older, fully developed storage roots. The high significant correlation between the storage root cross-section area and the cross-sectional lesion ratio suggests the presence of an unfavorable environment for C. fimbriata as the storage root develops. Incorporating applications of effective fungicides at transplanting and during early-storage root development when sweetpotato tissues are most susceptible to black rot infection may improve disease management efforts. }, number={9}, journal={Phytopathology®}, publisher={Scientific Societies}, author={Parada-Rojas, C.

Anthracnose epidemics are common when susceptible cultivars and asymptomatic planting stocks carrying quiescent Colletotrichum infection or hemibiotrophic infection (HBI) are planted. The main objective of this study was to assess resistance to HBI and ACR in strawberry. Strawberry cultivars and breeding lines were spray inoculated with isolates of C. acutatum or C. gloeosporioides. Four epidemiological parameters providing estimates of rate-reducing resistance to HBI and ACR in strawberry cultivars and lines were evaluated in repeated experiments in controlled environments in a greenhouse. HBI severity, measured as the percentage of total leaf area covered by acervuli, was estimated visually and by image analysis. ACR severity was rated weekly for wilt symptoms, and relative area under disease progress curve scores were calculated for comparing strawberry cultivars and lines. Significant differences (P ≤ 0.005) in HBI severity were found among strawberry genotypes; however, the correlations were not remarkable between Colletotrichum species (r = 0.4251). Although significant variation in resistance was observed for ACR, this was also weakly correlated (r = 0.2430) with resistance to C. gloeosporioides HBI. Overall, rate-reducing resistance to HBI and ACR in strawberry identified in this study could be utilized in breeding programs to develop durable resistance to anthracnose in North Carolina. }, number={2}, journal={Plant Disease}, publisher={Scientific Societies}, author={Jacobs, Raymond L. and Adhikari, Tika B. and Pattison, Jeremy and Yencho, G.

               <jats:p>In developing countries, the sweetpotato, Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam. (2n=6x=90), is an important autopolyploid species, both socially and economically. However, quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping has remained limited due to its genetic complexity. Current fixed-effect models can fit only a single QTL and are generally hard to interpret. Here, we report the use of a random-effect model approach to map multiple QTL based on score statistics in a sweetpotato biparental population (‘Beauregard’ × ‘Tanzania’) with 315 full-sibs. Phenotypic data were collected for eight yield component traits in six environments in Peru, and jointly adjusted means were obtained using mixed-effect models. An integrated linkage map consisting of 30,684 markers distributed along 15 linkage groups (LGs) was used to obtain the genotype conditional probabilities of putative QTL at every centiMorgan position. Multiple interval mapping was performed using our R package QTLpoly and detected a total of 13 QTL, ranging from none to four QTL per trait, which explained up to 55% of the total variance. Some regions, such as those on LGs 3 and 15, were consistently detected among root number and yield traits, and provided a basis for candidate gene search. In addition, some QTL were found to affect commercial and noncommercial root traits distinctly. Further best linear unbiased predictions were decomposed into additive allele effects and were used to compute multiple QTL-based breeding values for selection. Together with quantitative genotyping and its appropriate usage in linkage analyses, this QTL mapping methodology will facilitate the use of genomic tools in sweetpotato breeding as well as in other autopolyploids.}, number={3}, journal={Genetics}, publisher={Oxford University Press (OUP)}, author={da Silva Pereira, Guilherme and Gemenet, Dorcus C and Mollinari, Marcelo and Olukolu, Bode A and Wood, Joshua C and Diaz, Federico and Mosquera, Veronica and Gruneberg, Wolfgang J and Khan, Awais and Buell, C Robin and et al.}, year={2020}, month={Jul}, pages={579–595} }

Abstract
In populations depending on sweetpotato for food security, starch is an important source of calories, while β-carotene is an important source of provitamin A. The negative association between the two traits contributes to the low nutritional quality of sweetpotato consumed, especially in sub-Saharan Africa.

Knowledge of the level of genetic diversity in a segregating family contributes to our understanding of the genetic diversity present in crosses and helps breeders to make selections for population improvement and cultivar release. Simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers have become widely used markers for diversity and linkage analysis in plants. In this study, we screened 405 sweetpotato SSR markers for polymorphism on the parents and progeny of a biparental cross of New Kawogo × Beauregard cultivars. Thereafter, we used the informative markers to analyze the diversity in this population. A total of 250 markers were polymorphic on the parents and selected progeny; of these, 133 were informative and used for diversity analysis. The polymorphic information content (PIC) values of the 133 markers ranged from 0.1 to 0.9 with an average of 0.7, an indication of high level of informativeness. The pairwise genetic distances among the progeny and parents ranged from 0.2 to 0.9, and they were grouped into five main clusters.

Bulked Segregant Analysis (BSA) technique was used to identify RAPD markers linked to the late blight disease (caused by Phytopthora infestans (Mont. de Bary) resistance in tomato using F2 population generated by crossing tomato inbred lines, NC 85L-1W(2007) which is resistant to late blight and NC 839-2(2007)-1 which is susceptible to it. A total of 250 F2 plants, and 10 plants each of the parents and F1 were used for BSA. Transgressive segregation was observed for late blight resistance. The segregation of susceptible and resistance perfectly fit the expected ratio of 3:1, that means resistance is governed by single recessive gene. Only 34 RAPD primers (17.26%) were found polymorphic between parents. Sixteen RAPD primers (47%) out of 34 gave polymorphic bands between resistant and susceptible bulks of the late blight. Four RAPD primers, namely MRTOMR-026, MRTOMR-031, MRTOMR-038 and MRTOMR-046 were identified as linked markers to loci related to late blight disease. Among those, two were linked to susceptible and two to resistance. Because of low reproducibility and dominant nature of RAPD, these markers need to be converted to SCAR markers.

La habilidad de T orizicolus de transmitir el virus es una característica controlada genéticamente. Debido a que en la naturale­za existen muchos factores que influencian el porcentaje de insectos vectores de T orizicolus, este estudio se realizó para deter­minar el porcentaje de insectos que tienen la capacidad genética de transmitir el RHBV. Se colectaron muestras de T orizicolus en varias regiones arroceras de Colombia, en campos que presentaban diferentes niveles de infesta­ción de RHBV. El porcentaje de insectos con capacidad genética de transmitir el RHBV fue siempre mayor que el porcentaje de insectos que fue­ron vectores virulíferos en el campo. Este método es útil como un indicador y ha sido utilizado para identificar las regiones arroceras de Colombia que están en gran ries­go de presentar epidemias de RHBV.}, number={2}, journal={Revista Colombiana de Entomología}, publisher={Universidad del Valle}, author={Reyes, Luis Antonio and Yencho, Craig and Velasco, Cecilia and Calvert, Lee}, year={1997}, month={Dec}, pages={165–169} }
