✦ Synopsis

By using four tester clones either as scions or stocks, source potentials and sink capacities of two groups of 13 and 20 sweet potato clones were measured in 1986 and 1987, respectively . Results obtained in the 1986 trial were generally consistent with those in the 1987 trial, though different clones were used in both trials. There were significant differences in source potentials and in sink capacities among tested clones . Responses of source to sink and of sink to source were also estimated using a regression method . No significant correlation was observed between source potential and response of source to sink . However, sink capacity showed significant relationship with response of sink to source .
