Article Synopsis

Sweetpotato, a major crop in sub-Saharan Africa, has diverse accessions in Niger, Nigeria, and Benin that have yet to be fully studied for their genetic potential.
The study utilized Diversity Arrays Technology (DArTseq) to genotype 271 sweetpotato accessions, revealing high genetic diversity with varying degrees across different chromosomes.
Results indicated four distinct populations based on genetic structure, showcasing a mix of accessions from various countries and highlighting unique traits within Nigerian and Beninese landraces.

West Africa is a dry region and drought tolerant sweetpotato cultivar was not reported. The objective of this study was to develop higher yielding drought tolerant sweetpotato hybrids following accelerated breeding scheme (ABS), and study G × E interaction. During advanced yield trial, the assessment of clones was conducted in six locations: four in Niger and two in Nigeria.
