Sweet Potato Gene Clusters Control Anthocyanin Biosynthesis and Leaf Morphology

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, Page 4500-4527, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) exhibits diversity in pigmentation and leaf morphology, yet the genetic architecture and regulatory organisation underlying these traits remain poorly resolved, particularly with respect to organ‐specific control.

A public mid‐density genotyping platform for pecan [Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh.) K. Koch]

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Pecan [Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh.) K. Koch] is the fifth‐largest tree nut in global cultivation, with 80% of production occurring in the southern states of the United States. Despite the economic and health benefits of pecans, there is a lack of genomic tools available to breeders for crop improvement. The pecan breeding community is small,

A Hydroponics Assay Distinguishes between S-metolachlor-tolerant and -sensitive Sweetpotato Cultivars

HortScience, 2020
Weed management is an important component of sweetpotato production. Currently, S-metolachlor is the only herbicide registered in sweetpotato that has some suppressive effect on nutsedge species (Cyperus spp.).

Genotype, mulching, and cropping system interactions drive vegetative growth and storage root yield in temperate‐grown sweetpotato

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Understanding interactions among genotype, environment, and management is crucial for optimizing crop performance under climate variability. Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.), a nutrient‐rich root crop increasingly cultivated in temperate regions, exhibits complex source‐sink dynamics that remain insufficiently characterized in organic ...

Genome-wide identification of the C2H2 zinc finger gene family and expression analysis under salt stress in sweetpotato

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
IntroductionThe higher plant transcription factor C2H2 zinc finger protein (C2H2-ZFP) is essential for plant growth, development, and stress response. There are limited studies on C2H2-ZFP genes in sweetpotato, despite a substantial number of C2H2-ZFP ...

Genome‐Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of Pathogenesis‐Related Protein 1 in Sweet Potato and Its Two Relatives

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Pathogenesis‐related Protein 1 (PR1) is a core component of plant innate immunity. We identified 33, 50, and 36 PR1 genes in Ipomoea batatas, Ipomoea trifida, and Ipomoea triloba. Phylogenetic analysis clustered them into 5 groups. Two diploid wild species show high flower/flower‐buds expression, and most sweet potato PR1s are downregulated under ...

Data on correlation among LAI, T/R, anthocyanin and starch content in purple fleshed sweetpotato during different growth stages

Data in Brief, 2018
Increasing demands for bio-products such as starch and anthocyanin stimulate researches towards purple-fleshed sweetpotato. Therefore, the aim of this complementary work is to identify the relationship between leaf area index, T/R value, starch and ...

A geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase gene, IbGGPS, increases carotenoid contents in transgenic sweetpotato

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2022
Geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase (GGPS) plays an important role in the biosynthesis of carotenoids. In a previous study, the IbGGPS gene was isolated from a sweetpotato, Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam., line Nongdafu 14 with high carotenoid contents, but ...

Coevolution and Functional Effects of Endosymbiotic Rickettsia in Leptocybe invasa Fisher & LaSalle (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) Across China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Two distinct lineages of L. invasa and the dominant endosymbiont, Rickettsia, was identified, followed by an analysis of its infection density across various developmental stages and tissues of L. invasa. Furthermore, two distinct strains of the Rickettsia endosymbiont were detected, and the phylogenetic relationships between these strains and their L.
