Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of the Sucrose Synthase Gene Family in Sweet Potato and Its Two Diploid Relatives.

Summary

Sucrose synthases (SUS) were studied in sweet potato and its relatives. They play a crucial role in sucrose metabolism, carbon allocation, and energy conservation in nonphotosynthetic cells. The study identified nine SUS genes in sweet potato, which were divided into three subgroups based on their relationships. The genes underwent duplications during evolution and were highly expressed in storage root development and starch biosynthesis. They also responded to drought and salt stress and could participate in hormone crosstalk. This research provides insights for improving yield, starch content, and abiotic stress tolerance in sweet potatoes.

Mechanism of Anti-Diabetic Activity from Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas): A Systematic Review.

Summary

This study reviewed the compounds in sweet potatoes that contribute to their anti-diabetic activity. Four varieties were identified as having potential anti-diabetic properties. Phenolic acids, flavonols, flavanones, and anthocyanidins are responsible for this activity. The study suggests that sweet potatoes could be effective in treating type 2 diabetes.

Ipomoea batatas attenuates amyloid β peptide-induced neurotoxicity in ICR mice.

Summary

A study evaluated 17 Korean native plants for their ability to protect against oxidative stress caused by amyloid β peptide (Aβ). Ipomoea batatas was found to have the highest protective effects and was further investigated. When fed to mice with Aβ-induced neuronal deficits, I. batatas significantly reversed neurotoxicity and reduced lipid peroxidation levels. I. batatas may be beneficial for Alzheimer's disease by limiting oxidative stress in the brain.
