Abstract Sweet potato is a multifunctional root crop with many essential nutrients and bioactive compounds. Due to its
genetic complexity and lack of genomic resources, efficient genetic studies and cultivar development lag far behind other
major crops. Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) offer an effective molecular marker technology for molecular-based breeding
and for locating important loci in crop plants, but only a few have previously been developed in sweet potato. To further
explore new SSR markers and accelerate their use in sweet potato genetic studies, genome-wide characterization and
development of SSR markers were performed using the recently published genome of sweet potato… More >
