The horizontal gene transfer of Agrobacterium T-DNAs into the series Batatas (genus Ipomoea) genome is not confined to hexaploid sweetpotato [PDF]
The discovery of the insertion of IbT-DNA1 and IbT-DNA2 into the cultivated (hexaploid) sweetpotato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.] genome constitutes a clear example of an ancient event of Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT).

Occurrence of LINE, gypsy-like, and copia-like retrotransposons in the clonally propagated sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) [PDF]
Retrotransposons are a class of transposable elements that represent a major fraction of the repetitive DNA of most eukaryotes. Their abundance stems from their expansive replication strategies.

First Report of Sweetpotato symptomless virus 1 and Sweetpotato virus A in Sweetpotatoes in Tanzania
Sweetpotato (Ipomea batatas L.) is grown widely from tropical to temperate regions and is an important food security crop in tropical countries. In Africa, sweetpotato is infected by RNA viruses of many taxa (4), but DNA viruses, such as the genus Begomovirus (family Geminiviridae), infecting sweetpotatoes in the Americas have been reported only in ...

Inhibition of miR397 by STTM technology to increase sweetpotato resistance to SPVD
As a critical food crop, sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) is widely planted all over the world, but it is deeply affected by Sweetpotato Virus Disease (SPVD). The present study utilized short tandem target mimic (STTM) technology to effectively up-

RNA interference : a promising biopesticide strategy against the African sweetpotato weevil Cylas brunneus [PDF]
The African sweetpotato weevil Cylas brunneus is one of the most devastating pests affecting the production of sweetpotatoes, an important staple food in Sub-Saharan Africa. Current available control methods against this coleopteran pest are limited.
