Stomatal closure in sweet potato leaves induced by sulfur dioxide involves H2S and NO signaling pathways

open access: yesBiologia Plantarum, 2014
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is a well-known and widespread air pollutant but it also acts as signaling molecule in various processes in animals. However, there is limited information on the role of SO2 in plants except of its toxicity.

A soluble starch synthase I gene, IbSSI, alters the content, composition, granule size and structure of starch in transgenic sweet potato

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Soluble starch synthase I (SSI) is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of plant amylopectin. In this study, the gene named IbSSI, was cloned from sweet potato, an important starch crop. A high expression level of IbSSI was detected in the leaves and storage

Genetic parameters and gain from selection in sweet potato genotypes with high beta-carotene content

open access: yes, 2020
Estimating genetic parameters is an essential procedure to define strategies for breeding and selection of higher yielding genotypes. The use of a selection index can assist in decision making by combining the high yield trait with other desirable traits.
