Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sweetpotato is one of the most important crops in the world and the main carbohydrate source for human beings. The important agronomic traits, i.e., high yield, outstanding quality, and resistance to biotic and abiotic stress have become the main objects in sweetpotato genetic breeding.
In recent years, with the development of RNA-sequencing and other omics technologies, many key genes have been discovered and their functions have also been revealed. This Special Issue is focused on recent research progress in genetic diversity analysis, QTL or gene discovery, molecular mechanism study, molecular marker-assisted breeding techniques, and the development of sweetpotato genetic breeding.

For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Genes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
