Therefore, it is necessary to construct a high-efficiency method that can screen germplasms for different usages, for mining elite genotypes, and to create dedicated sweetpotato varieties. In this article, the multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) model was constructed based on six agronomic traits, including fresh root yield, vine length, vine diameter, branch number, root number and the spatial distribution of storage roots, and five quality traits, including dry matter content, marketable root yield, uniformity of roots, starch content and the edible quality score. Among these, the edible quality score was calculated by using fuzzy comprehensive evaluation to integrate the sensory scores of color, odor, sweetness, stickiness and fibrous taste. The MCDM model was compared with the traditional screening method via an evaluation in 25 sweetpotato materials. The interference of subjective factors on the evaluation results was significantly reduced. The MCDM model is more overall, more accurate and faster than the traditional screening method in the selection of elite sweetpotato materials.

Here, a novel target cultivar-specific identification system using the chromatographic printed array strip method was developed for eight prominent Japanese citrus cultivars. A polymorphic InDel fragment specific to each cultivar was explored through the screening of published citrus InDel markers and next-generation sequencing of retrotransposon libraries. The cultivar-specific DNA marker set for each cultivar comprised 1-3 polymorphic InDel fragments in combination with a PCR-positive DNA marker for the ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase large subunit gene. The DNA markers were detected within 3 hours from DNA extraction to the detection by the C-PAS4 membrane stick following multiplex PCR. The developed system is superior as a convenient, rapid, and cost-effective DNA diagnostic method during inspection.

To discover new genes related to SC tolerance, we evaluated the physical and genetic mechanisms of SC tolerance in the cultivar Toyomizuki (genotype <i>II</i>). Histological and texture analyses of the seed coat revealed that the ability to maintain hardness and flexibility under low temperature, regardless of proanthocyanidin accumulation in the dorsal seed coat, contributes to SC tolerance in Toyomizuki.
