It has been established that near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has the potential of estimating sensory traits given the direct spectral responses that these properties have in the NIR region. In sweetpotato, sensory and texture traits are key for impr...
spp. (root-knot nematodes [RKNs]) are a major threat to a wide range of agricultural crops worldwide. Breeding crops for RKN resistance is an effective management strategy, yet assaying large numbers of breeding lines requires laborious bioassays th...
