Abstract: Sweet potato is an important food,forage and industrial crop. It’s also a new high-energy source crop. The research on the establishment of genetic transformation systems of sweet potato is overviewed;meanwhile,the advancement of transgenic sweet potato,including enhancement of the herbicide,abiotic stress,virus,disease, and insect resistance and improvement of nutrient quality were summarized in this paper. Furthermore,the perspective for development of transgenic sweet potato were forecasted.
