| description | Sweetpotato has recently received much attention due to its many agricultural advantages such as its adaptability to
different environmental conditions and its nutritional value. It has been grown in Japan for more than 400 years, and the bulk
of the Japanese harvest is presently destined for fresh market consumption as well as for the food and beverage processing
industry. This review begins by providing an overview of the commercial production and agronomic characteristics of
sweetpotato cultivars in Japan. The paper deals with the possible ancestry of Japanese sweetpotatoes, and finally describes
several orange- or purple-fleshed genotypes that are adapted well to cold northern climates and considered as valuable sources
for enhancing the physiological functionality of this crop. |
