Temporal Dynamics of the Origin and Domestication of Sweet Potato and Implications for Dispersal to Polynesia

2018-04-27

Abstract excerpt

In a study focussed on the origin of Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam. (the sweet potato) and its close relatives [1], the authors claimed that a specimen of sweet potato collected by Banks and Solander in 1769 in Polynesia was distinct and along with some other varieties had levels of genetic variation of more than 100,000 years. This timeframe, along with several other lines of evidence, was interpreted, by the authors...
