"Pre-breeding information on the inheritance mechanism of important sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas L.) agronomic\r\ntraits is still limited. This study aimed at assessing the inheritance of five sweetpotato agronomic traits, viz.\r\nmarketable fresh root yield (MFRY) and number (MNR), total fresh root yield (TFRY) and number (TNR) and\r\nroot b-carotene content (RBCC). A 5 x 5 full diallel was performed and F1 progenies, evaluated in two\r\nenvironments alongside the parents. The data were subjected to ANOVA and DiallelSAS-05 Griffing’s method 1.\r\nSimple Sequence Repeat (SSR) based genetic distance and cluster analysis were performed on the parental lines\r\nusing Jaccard’s coefficient and the unweighted pair group method with arithmetic averages (UPGMA). Significant\r\ndifferences (P<0.01) were detected among the genotypes for MFRY, MNR, TFRY, TNR and RBCC. Significant\r\ngeneral and specific combining ability (P<0.01) effects were observed for all five traits. Additive gene action was\r\npredominantly involved in the inheritance of these traits. High broad sense heritability values were observed for\r\nthe four yield parameters and for RBCC. The Jaccard’s similarity coefficient indicated moderate to low genetic\r\nsimilarity distances among the parents, implying high diversity. The knowledge on the inheritance and diversity\r\nof the parental genotypes enables more effective choice of parents in breeding improved varieties."^^ . "2016" . . "24" . "1" . .
