3535Sweet Potato and Yam Genomics
Recent advancements in development of genomic resources and related tools for Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas) and yam (Dioscorea spp.) to accelerate genome-assisted improvement will be presented and discussed. Presentations will focus on development of genomic resources, including genome sequencing efforts, bioinformatic pipelines, software for identification of marker-trait associations and MAS/genomic selection as methods to improve resilience to abiotic and biotic constrains, together with other consumer preference traits and nutritional quality.
