Effects of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers on storage root yield, nutrient use efficiency, and soil nutrient balance of sweetpotato. [PDF]

BMC Plant Biol
Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) fertilization is widely used to enhance crop productivity. However, the synergistic effects of combined N, P, and K application on sweetpotato yield and nutrient use efficiency are not fully understood.

Deciphering the Origins of Commercial Sweetpotato Genotypes Using International Genebank Data. [PDF]

Biology (Basel)
Sweetpotato genotypes, often known by regional names, are easily propagated via cuttings, which can lead to mixing and misidentification of cultivars. This complicates traceability and commercialization.

A Novel High-Affinity Potassium Transporter IbHKT-like Gene Enhances Low–Potassium Tolerance in Transgenic Roots of Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.)

Plants, 2022
The high-affinity potassium transporters (HKT) mediate K+-Na+ homeostasis in plants. However, the function of enhancing low-potassium tolerance in sweet potato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.] remains unrevealed. In this study, a novel HKT transporter homolog

Comparative analysis of chloroplast genomes of cultivars and wild species of sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas [L.] Lam)

BMC Genomics, 2021
Background Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas [L.] Lam.) is an important food crop. However, the genetic information of the nuclear genome of this species is difficult to determine accurately because of its large genome and complex genetic background.

Induced biosynthesis of chlorogenic acid in sweetpotato leaves confers the resistance against sweetpotato weevil attack

Journal of Advanced Research, 2020
Sweetpotato weevil is among the most harmful pests in some major sweetpotato growing areas with warm climates. To enable the future establishment of safe weevil-resistance strategies, anti-weevil metabolites from sweetpotato should be investigated.

Comparative transcriptomic and proteomic analysis reveals common molecular factors responsive to heat and drought stresses in sweetpotaoto (Ipomoea batatas)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
IntroductionCrops are affected by various abiotic stresses, among which heat (HT) and drought (DR) stresses are the most common in summer. Many studies have been conducted on HT and DR, but relatively little is known about how drought and heat ...
