“…It is a typical food for food safety since it can be harvested in just 4-6 months, an easily propagated crop able to provide carbohydrates, minerals and β-carotenes (pro-vitamin A). Its ability to face adverse climatic conditions, effective response to meteorological phenomena, its versatility and vegetative reproduction, places it above other crops of higher production [2].…”

“…Esta espécie é uma dicotiledônea de porte herbáceo, hexaplóide com 90 cromossomos (2n= 6x= 90), o que resulta em alta variabilidade genotípica e fenotípica (SILVA; PONIJALEKI; SUINAGA, 2012;CARMONA et al, 2015;MELO et al, 2020). Devido a isso, esta espécie possui grande diversidade de formatos e colorações de folhas, ramos, polpa e casca das raízes tuberosas (RITSCHEL; HUAMÁN, 2002;SILVA;PONIJALEKI;SUINAGA, 2012;JACKSON et al, 2020;LEBOT, 2020;MELO et al, 2020).…”
