Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sweet potato is an important crop cultivated worldwide. Its use for human consumption and as a raw material for industrial purposes demonstrates its socioeconomic contribution in several countries. Sweet potato is a crop with high plasticity that can grow despite a changing climate, hence it becoming known as a climate-resilient crop. The purpose of this Special Issue is to contribute to the compilation and dissemination of new knowledge, findings on the breeding, physiology, genetics, crop science, biotechnology, postharvest and nutritional quality of this crop, and provide valuable insights and technologies to address the challenges related to the optimization of sweet potato production and transformation. In this Special Issue “Breeding, Cultivation and Postharvest Managements of Sweet Potato” of the journal Horticulture, we invite the scientific community to share their research findings on sweet potato that address to need to resolve the current bottlenecks in sweet potato crop transformation.
