df = degrees of freedom; *, *** = significant at 0.05 and 0.001, respectively; ns = non-significant at 0.05; NRPP = number of roots per plant; DMC = dry matter content; SPVD = sweet potato virus disease; GE = genotype by environment; IPCA1 and IPCA2 = first and second interaction principal component analysis axes.
