Article Synopsis
- A new MADS-box gene called IbMADS10 was identified in sweet potato, showing strong similarities to other transcription factors related to plant development.
- IbMADS10 is mainly found in pigmented tissues, like flower buds and colorful roots, suggesting a role in anthocyanin production, which is responsible for color.
- Transgenic experiments and additional analyses confirm that IbMADS10 influences pigmentation, aligning its function with similar genes in Arabidopsis that control color traits.
