High-integrity Pueraria montana var. lobata genome and population analysis revealed the genetic diversity of Pueraria genus.

Pueraria montana var. lobata (P. lobata) is a traditional medicinal plant belonging to the Pueraria genus of Fabaceae family.

Telomere-to-telomere assembly of cassava genome reveals the evolution of cassava and divergence of allelic expression.

Cassava is a crucial crop that makes a significant contribution to ensuring human food security. However, high-quality telomere-to-telomere cassava genomes have not been available up to now, which has restricted the progress of haploid molecular breeding for cassava. In this study, we constructed two nearly complete haploid resolved genomes and an integrated, telomere-to-telomere gap-free reference genome of an excellent cassava variety, 'Xinxuan 048', thereby providing a new high-quality genomic resource.

[Functional analysis on sucrose transporters in sweet potato].

Sweet potato is an important food crop that can also be used as an industrial raw material. Sucrose is the main form of long-distance carbohydrate transport in plants, and sucrose transporter (SUT) regulates the transmembrane transport and distribution of sucrose during plant growth and metabolism. Moreover, SUT plays a key role in phloem mediated source-to-sink sucrose transport and physiological activities, supplying sucrose for the sink tissues.

Regulatory and functional divergence among members of , a sweet potato vacuolar invertase gene controlling starch and glucose content.

Sweet potato [ (L.) Lam.] is an important food and industrial crop.

IbInvInh2, a novel invertase inhibitor in sweet potato, regulates starch content through post-translational regulation of vacuolar invertase IbβFRUCT2.

As a key enzyme in the starch and sugar metabolic pathways in sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.), the vacuolar invertase (EC 3.

Comparative plastomes of Pueraria montana var. lobata (Leguminosae: Phaseoleae) and closely related taxa: insights into phylogenomic implications and evolutionary divergence.

Background: Pueraria montana var. lobata (kudzu) is an important food and medicinal crop in Asia. However, the phylogenetic relationships between Pueraria montana var.

Genome-wide identification and expression pattern analysis of R2R3-MYB transcription factor gene family involved in puerarin biosynthesis and response to hormone in Pueraria lobata var. thomsonii.

Background: R2R3-MYB transcription factors regulate secondary metabolism, stress responses and development in various plants. Puerarin is a bioactive ingredient and most abundant secondary metabolite isolated from Pueraria lobata. The biosynthesis of puerarin proceeds via the phenylpropanoid pathway and isoflavonoids pathway, in which 9 key enzymes are involved.

Chromosome-level and graphic genomes provide insights into metabolism of bioactive metabolites and cold-adaption of Pueraria lobata var. montana.

Pueraria lobata var. montana (P. montana) belongs to the genus Pueraria and originated in Asia.

Isolation and functional characterization of a glucose-6-phosphate/phosphate translocator (IbG6PPT1) from sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.).

Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) is a good source of carbohydrates, an excellent raw material for starch-based industries, and a strong candidate for biofuel production due to its high starch content.

Identification of Nutritional Ingredients and Medicinal Components of and Its Varieties Using UPLC-MS/MS-Based Metabolomics.

Comparative Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Critical Function of Sucrose Metabolism Related-Enzymes in Starch Accumulation in the Storage Root of Sweet Potato.

The starch properties of the storage root (SR) affect the quality of sweet potato ( (L.) Lam.).

Development and Identification of SSR Markers Associated with Starch Properties and β-Carotene Content in the Storage Root of Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas L.).

Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) is a nutritious food crop and, based on the high starch content of its storage root, a potential bioethanol feedstock. Enhancing the nutritional value and starch quantity of storage roots are important goals of sweet potato breeding programs aimed at developing improved varieties for direct consumption, processing, and industrial uses.
