甘薯（Ipomoea batatas（L.）Lam.）国际农业界对甘薯种质资源的需求急剧增加，需要交换原始的和改良的甘薯种质。据联合国粮食及农业组织估计，甘薯在世界作物总产量中排名第七。合理的园艺实践和国家检疫法规要求用于国际销售的甘薯种质不含已知病毒。商业生产和研究也需要不含已知病毒的甘薯种质。不幸的是，我们的能力，以证明植物无病毒和代理人负责已知的疾病的病因不明，并没有跟上这一迅速增长的需要。当涉及到国际种质交换时，认证问题最为严重，因为缺乏双方都能接受的病毒检测指南。
Renewed interest in the sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) by the international agricultural community has resulted in a dramatic rise in the need to exchange primitive and improved sweet potato germ plasm. Estimates by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations rank sweet potato seventh in total production among the world's crops. Sound horticultural practices and national quarantine regulations mandate that sweet potato germ plasm intended for international distribution be free from known viruses. Sweet potato germ plasm free from known viruses is also needed for commercial production and research purposes. Unfortunately, our ability to certify plants free from viruses and from agents responsible for the recognized diseases of unknown etiology has not kept pace with this burgeoning need. The problem of certification is most severe when international exchange of germ plasm is involved, because mutually acceptable guidelines for virus testingare lacking.
