Abstract Every breeding program that aims to create new and improved cultivars with desired traits mostly relies on
information related to genetic diversity. Therefore, molecular characterization of germplasms is important to obtain target
cultivars with desirable traits. Sweet potato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam] is widely considered the world’s most important crop,
with great diversity in morphological and phenotypic traits. The genetic diversity of 20 sweet potato germplasms originating
from Bangladesh, CIP, Philippines, Taiwan, and Malaysia were compared, which was accomplished by genetic diversity
analysis by exploring 20 microsatellite DNA markers for germplasm characterization and utilization. This information was
effective in differentiating… More >
