It has been proposed that malto-oligosaccharides (MOSs) are possibly recycled back into amylopectin biosynthesis via the sequential reactions catalyzed by plastidial α-glucan phosphorylase 1 (Pho1) and disproportionating enzyme 1 (Dpe1). In the present study, the reciprocal co-immunoprecipitation experiments using specific antibodies against Pho1 and Dpe1 demonstrated that these two enzymes can...

Selective amplification of microsatellite polymorphic loci (SAMPL) markers was used to analyze the genetic relationships between 22 elite cultivars of sweet potato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.] used in polycross breeding in Taiwan. These elite cultivars included varieties introduced from China and Japan and landraces from Taiwan as well as cultivars derived either from hybrid or polycross breedin...

The intake of large amounts the antinutrient oxalate can induce hyperoxaluria, an important risk factor for development calcium stones. soluble and total concentrations plants Fabaceae, Convolvulaceae, Malvaceae families were determined using HPLC-enzyme-reactor method. Sweet potato is a species Fabaceae includes beans, lentils, peas, licorice blue fenugreek, whereas okra cocoa are family. Tota...

In ayurveda Ipomoea cairica has its own importance to treat various health problems. It is tropical plant and a wild relative of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas), which considered as one China's most invasive alien species. climber in the Convolvulaceae family that frequently used medicinal herb India Western Asia. this study two different solvents like water ethanol were for extraction cairica. ...

BACKGROUND The bipartite single-stranded RNA genome of Sweet potato chlorotic stunt virus (SPCSV, genus Crinivirus; Closteroviridae) encodes a Class 1 RNase III (RNase3), a putative hydrophobic protein (p7) and a 22-kDa protein (p22) from genes located in RNA1. RNase3 and p22 suppress RNA silencing, the basal antiviral defence mechanism in plants. RNase3 is sufficient to render sweetpotato (Ipo...

ABSTRACT The Ceratocystis fimbriata complex includes many undescribed species that cause wilt and canker diseases of many economically important plants. Phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequences have delineated three geographic clades within Ceratocystis fimbriata. This study examined host specialization in the Latin American clade, in which a number of lineages were identified using sequences of ...

The effect of varied anaerobic atmospheres on the metabolism of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas [L.] Lam.) roots was studied. The internal gas atmospheres of storage roots changed rapidly when the roots were submerged under water. O(2) and N(2) gases disappeared quickly and were replaced by CO(2). There were no appreciable differences in gas composition among the four cultivars that were studied....
