Energetic stress compels cells to evolve adaptive mechanisms to adjust their metabolism. Inhibition of mTOR kinase complex 1 (mTORC1) is essential for cell survival during glucose starvation. How mTORC1 controls cell viability during glucose starvation is not well understood.

- The hexaploid sweetpotato has an unclear genetic origin, and this study identifies two main progenitors, a diploid closely related to Ipomoea aequatoriensis and a tetraploid likely of I. batatas 4x.
- The research used genetic evidence and phylogenetic analysis, revealing that sweetpotato likely developed from crosses between these progenitors, followed by whole-genome duplication.
- Key genes selected during sweetpotato's evolution are linked to root formation, genome stability, resistance, and nutrient transport, providing insights for future crop improvement.
Neurons in posterior parietal cortex (PPC) encode many aspects of the sensory world (e.g., scene structure), the posture of the body, and plans for action.
