AFLP assessment of diversity in sweetpotato from Latin America and the Pacific region: Its implications on the dispersal of the crop (2004, background): “We suggest that the Oceania sweetpotato probably came from Mesoamerica through a non-human mediated dispersal.”
Genetic diversity in Brazilian sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam., Solanales, Convolvulaceae) landraces assessed with microsatellite markers (2008, background): “Zhang et al. (2000) used AFLP to study the genetic diversity of 69 sweet potato landraces from tropical America collected in 13 countries, reporting a high variation (90”
Evaluating diversity among Kenyan sweet potato genotypes using morphological and SSR markers (2010, background): “Simple sequence repeats (SSR) are considered to be the most efficient markers for genetic diversity studies in many plants (Rakoczy-Trojanowska & Bolibok, 2004) including sweet potato (Zhang et al., 2000).”
Genetic diversity in sweetpotato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.] in relationship to geographic sources as assessed with RAPD markers (2003, background): “This supports South and Central America is the accepted centre of the findings of Zhang et al. (2000) who found origin of the sweetpotato, formation of these two Peruvian-Ecuadorian genotypes to be quite distinct clusters means there are possibly two genepools in the from other cultivars from…”
