Sweetpotato Knowledge Portal
Sweetpotato is cultivated worldwide as a valuable source of food. Weevils cause 60-100% loss of productivity. The present study aims at genetically transforming selected Ugandan sweetpotato cultivars with genes that confer resistance to weevils. A tissue culture method is being optimised to be coupled with Agrobacterium transformation technique for regeneration …
