Dr. Yencho has research responsibilities (100%) in sweetpotato
and potato breeding and genetics. Research emphasis is on
developing disease and insect resistant table-stock, processing
and specialty-type sweetpotatoes and potatoes adapted to
North Carolina's growing conditions with improved root and
tuber quality, respectively.
Research interests include plant breeding, plant resistance
to insects and pathogens, use of wild and/or related plant
germplasm as a source of commercially important traits,
applications of genomics, molecular biology and plant biochemistry
to plant breeding and the production of renewable, bio-based,
value-added products in sweetpotato and potato, and international
agricultural development.
