This book collects the available technical data on in vitro methodology appropriate to sweet potato and looks at the problem of obtaining virus-free germplasm for distribution and conservation.
For the International Musa Testing Programme (IMTP) Phase II, germplasm was evaluated for resistance to black Sigatoka (M. fijiensis), yellow Sigatoka (M. musicola) and Fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense). The majority of IMTP Phase II trials were planted during 1996 and 1997. The f...
