Summary Carotenoid‐rich orange‐fleshed sweet potato (OFSP) is an important staple diet and source of nutrition in developing countries, including Africa Asia. However, the regulation carotenoid biosynthesis remains to be better understood. A natural allelic variation closely linked was identified promoter region IbbHLH25 gene that encodes a basic helix–loop–helix (bHLH) transcription factor, by transcriptome haplotype analyses different flesh colour accessions. An 86‐bp deletion reduced...
Sweet potato starch is in high demand globally for food and industry. However, content negatively correlated with fresh yield. It urgent to uncover the genetic basis molecular mechanisms underlying yield of sweet potato. Here we systematically explore source-sink synergy-mediated formation: production, loading, transport photosynthates leaves, as well their unloading allocation storage roots, lead divergence between varieties. Moreover, find that six haplotypes IbPMA1 encoding a plasma...
Sweetpotato, Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam., is an important food crop worldwide. Large scale evaluation of sweetpotato germplasm for genetic diversity necessary to analyze the relationship between them and make effective use in improvement this crop. In study, 617 accessions, including 376 landraces 162 bred varieties from China 79 introduced other 11 countries, was assessed using 30 simple sequence repeat (SSR) primer pairs with high polymorphism. Based on population structure analysis, these...
Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) is a widely grown food crop especially in developing countries. Increasing storage-root yield and dry-matter content has been the main breeding objective of crop, DNA marker-assisted needed for this purpose. In study, using mapping population 500 F1 individuals from cross between Xushu 18 (female) Xu 781 (male), we constructed high-density genetic linkage map sweetpotato 601 simple-sequence repeat (SSR) primer pairs. The contained 90 groups with 5547...
