Description
Qiaoran Zhuansun and Yonghua Han review chromosome science in sweetpotato in a 2026 paper. Sweetpotato is a hexaploid crop with ninety chromosomes. It is the top economic species in the morning glory genus.
Fourteen diploid relatives are confirmed as close kin. Wild species hold genes that breeders need for improvement. Some wild taxa may be ancestors of the crop. The crop origin and genome layout remain partly unresolved. Chromosome mapping and related cytology tools are surveyed. It sums up work on chromosome counts, genome size, and how chromosomes pair. Readers get a progress report on the basic science behind breeding a global staple.
