Discovery and characterization of sweetpotato’s closest tetraploid relative

New Phytologist, 2022
Summary The origin of sweetpotato, a hexaploid species, is poorly understood, partly because the identity of its tetraploid progenitor remains unknown. In this study, we identify, describe and characterize a new species of Ipomoea that is sweetpotato’s ...

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.

Effect of ultrasound on structural and physicochemical properties of sweetpotato and wheat flours.

Ultrasonics sonochemistry, 2020
Ultrasound technologies are increasingly used for modification of physicochemical properties of food systems. Effects of ultrasound (20 kHz, 750 W) up to 20 h on physicochemical properties of two varieties of sweetpotato flour were studied and compared ...

Integrated analysis of carotenoid metabolites and transcriptome identifies key genes controlling carotenoid compositions and content in sweetpotato tuberous roots (Ipomoea batatas L.)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas L.) with different depths of yellow color contains different compositions of carotenoids, which are beneficial for human health. In this study, we performed an integrated analysis of metabolomic and transcriptomic to identify

Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Sweetpotato Accessions (Ipomoea batatas [L.] Lam.) Revealed by Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Markers

Plant Breeding, Volume 145, Issue 1, Page 85-94, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Use of molecular markers has improved the analysis of genetic variation by eliminating environmental influences on genotype performance. The objective of this study was to assess the genetic diversity (GD) and population structure of 327 sweetpotato genotypes sourced from the major sweetpotato‐growing regions of Zimbabwe and from the ...

A systematical genome-wide analysis and screening of WRKY transcription factor family engaged in abiotic stress response in sweetpotato

BMC Plant Biology, 2022
Background WRKY transcription factors play pivotal roles in regulating plant multiple abiotic stress tolerance, however, a genome-wide systematical analysis of WRKY genes in sweetpotato is still missing.

Discovery of a major QTL for resistance to Fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. batatas) in the hexaploid Covington sweetpotato

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. batatas, the causal agent of Fusarium wilt disease, was once the most damaging pathogen of sweetpotato in the United States. Breeding for cultivar resistance has largely addressed this issue, however, little is known about the genetic basis for resistance.
