Abstract: The advance of study on genetic engineering for sweetpotato improving was reviewed, including plantlets regeneration in vitro, methods of transformation for foreign genes, improving the qualities of protein and starch, increasing the contents of protein and starch of the tuberous roots and enhancing of resistance to diseases and virus. The existing problems and the potential of genetic engineering was also presented.
