This specially formulated collection features 3 reviews of current
topics and key research in sweetpotato. The first chapter examines
the origin and dispersal of sweetpotato, considers in vitro
germplasm storage in sweetpotato genebanks, and looks at the
importance of managing sweetpotato crop wild relatives (CWR). The
chapter also considers the specific issues associated with
sweetpotato germplasm, as well as the application of
next-generation sequencing to sweetpotato and its CWR. The second
chapter reviews the development and application of genetic
transformation and trait improvement to sweetpotato, including the
development of sweetpotato plants which are resistant to disease
and abiotic stress, and sweetpotatoes with improved starch quality
and higher anthocyanin content. The final chapter examines the
nutritional contribution made by OFSP (orange-fleshed sweetpotato)
in poor rural communities in Malawi, Ghana, Nigeria and Burkina
Faso; sustainable breeding and seed systems; and effective
commercialisation and marketing to benefit the communities
concerned. This chapter includes detailed case studies from Ghana
and Malawi.
