Integrated Transcriptional and Metabolomic Analysis of Factors Influencing Root Tuber Enlargement during Early Sweet Potato Development.

Background: Sweet potato ( (L.) Lam.) is widely cultivated as an important food crop.

[Risk factors for postoperative mortality within 1 year in more than 90-year-old super advanced age patients with hip fractures].

Objective: To investigate the 1 year mortality after hip fractures in super advanced age patients and summarize the death associated risk factors in order to provide basis for targeted intervention countermeasures.

Methods: The clinical data of 332 super advanced age patients with femoral neck or intertrochanteric fractures treated by hip replacement or intramedullary femoral nail fixation from January 2015 to January 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 128 males and 204 females with the mean age of (92.

Physiological, Photosynthetic, and Transcriptomics Insights into the Influence of Shading on Leafy Sweet Potato.

Leafy sweet potato is a new type of sweet potato, whose leaves and stems are used as green vegetables. However, sweet potato tips can be affected by pre-harvest factors, especially the intensity of light. At present, intercropping, greenhouse planting, and photovoltaic agriculture have become common planting modes for sweet potato.

, a Sweet Potato R2R3-MYB Gene, Improves Salt Stress Tolerance in Transgenic Tobacco.

The MYB (v-myb avian myeloblastosis viral oncogene homolog) transcription factor family plays an important role in plant growth, development, and response to biotic and abiotic stresses. However, the gene functions of MYB transcription factors in sweet potato ( (L.) Lam) have not been elucidated.

Identification of miRNAs in Response to Sweet Potato Weevil () Infection by sRNA Sequencing.

The sweet potato weevil () is an important pest in the growing and storage of sweet potatoes. It is a common pest in the sweet potato production areas of southern China, causing serious harm to the development of the sweet potato industry. For the existing cultivars in China and abroad, there is no sweet potato variety with complete resistance to the sweet potato weevil.

Integrated transcriptome, small RNA and degradome sequencing approaches proffer insights into chlorogenic acid biosynthesis in leafy sweet potato.

Leafy sweet potato is rich in total phenolics (TP) which play key roles in health protection, the chlorogenic acid (CGA) constitutes the major components of phenolic compounds in leafy sweet potato. Unfortunately, the mechanism of CGA biosynthesis in leafy sweet potato is unclear. To dissect the mechanisms of CGA biosynthesis, we performed transcriptome, small RNA (sRNA) and degradome sequencing of one low-CGA content and one high-CGA content genotype at two stages.

Genome-wide assessment of population structure and genetic diversity and development of a core germplasm set for sweet potato based on specific length amplified fragment (SLAF) sequencing.

Sweet potato, Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam., is an important food crop that is cultivated worldwide.
