The Department of Horticulture will use the grant to generate a genetic linkage map for sweet potatoes. This sweet potato linkage mapping project is just one step in a long-term project directed towards the development and production of proprietary high-dry matter, “industrial type” sweet potato varieties with improved carbohydrate, starch, protein, and ethanol production profiles necessary for use by private entities proposing to site several ethanol production plants in eastern NC.
Any project more than a couple of years old may not reflect current Board priorities.
Please contact a staff member with any questions.
