Nitrogen (N2) is the most important source of mineral N for plant growth, which was mainly transported by nitrate transporters (NRTs). However, little is known about the NRT gene family in potato. In this study, StNRT gene family members were identified in potato.

Article Synopsis
  • The potato, particularly the cultivar Shepody, is a significant food crop globally, recognized for its smooth white skin and cooking qualities.
  • Researchers determined the complete chloroplast genome of L. cv. Shepody through next-generation sequencing, revealing it is 155,296 bp long with a specific structure divided into large and small single-copy regions and inverted repeat regions.
  • The genome consists of 132 genes, including protein-coding, tRNA, and rRNA genes, and shows a close evolutionary relationship to another potato cultivar, Desiree, based on phylogenetic analysis.

Article Synopsis
  • Potato (L.), a crucial food crop globally, includes the L. cv. Favorita variety known for its long oval shape, yellowish skin, and specific nutrient content (17.7% dry matter, 12.4-14.01% starch).
  • A complete chloroplast genome sequence of L. cv. Favorita was determined through next-generation sequencing, revealing it to be 155,296 bp long and consisting of various functional gene regions.
  • Phylogenetic analysis of 60 chloroplast genomes indicates that L. cv. Favorita is closely related to other varieties like L. cv. Desiree and L. cv. Atlantic.
