Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) is adaptable to a broad range of
agro ecological conditions and fits in low input agriculture. It is
highly productive even under adverse farming conditions. Sweet
potato is grown in more than 100 countries as a valuable source of
food, animal feed and industrial raw material. It is a staple crop
in many South East Asian and African countries. The application of
new techniques for improvement of sweet potato crops, particularly
including the exploitation of somaclonal variation, gene transfer
by genetic transformation and somatic hybridization, requires the
control of plant regeneration from tissue cultures. In this study
different Micropropagation techniques such as Meristem culture for
the development of virus free plants, Nodal culture, In vitro
conservation or slow growth culture were conducted. .Results
indicates that these are the best methods for the improvement of
the crop.
