AFLP assessment of diversity in sweetpotato from Latin America and the Pacific region: Its implications on the dispersal of the crop

2004-03-01

Abstract excerpt

Although originally domesticated in tropical America, the sweetpotato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.] has a long history of cultivation in the Pacific region. While the post-Columbus dispersal of sweetpotato to Asia and the Pacific is well documented, the hypothesis that there was a prehistoric transfer of sweetpotato by Peruvian or Polynesian voyagers from Peru to Oceania has long been a controversial issue. The obje...
