Molecular markers are needed for enhancing the development of elite sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam) cultivars with a wide range of commercially important traits in sub-Saharan Africa. This study was conducted to estimate the heritability and determine trait correlations of storage root yie...

Near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy: Accelerating sweetpotato breeding at the sweetpotato support platform for West African in Ghana.
Sweetness of sweetpotato is considered to be a significant constraint to demand for this crop in West Africa where starchy staple root crops with low flavor impact are important. Un-sweetpotato populations and varieties which may have use both for fresh consumption and in processed forms are ther...

Breeding un-sweetpotato for West Africa: Progress on population development and improvement in Ghana and Peru.
As part of the breeding objectives to select sweetpotato materials with acceptable quality attributes for adaptation and subsequent utilisation in Ghana, the total amylase activity and physicochemical attributes (flesh colour, Beta-carotene, dry matter, starch and sugars) of 13 sweetpotato genoty...
