Discriminated between resistant and tolerant cultivars in response to Sweet potato feathery mottle virus (SPFMV) and Sweetpotato chlorotic stunt virus (SPCSV). Dual infection by SPCSV and SPFMV cause sweetpotato virus disease (SPVD), that can cause devastating losses. • Identified SPVD field resistant clones to be used as parents to breed …

This brief reports on project aimed towards breeding sweetpotato varieties with high level of virus resistance. Additionally, ensure the breeding methods are more efficient in producing improved populations with high expression of sweet potato virus disease (SPVD) resistance and quality characteristics desired by farmers and consumers. briefly selected SPVD resistant …
