Cloning and function analysis of quality and resistance related genes in sweetpotato, I pomoea batatas (L.) Lam.

摘要

@@Sweetpotato, I pomoea batatas (L.) Lam. ,is an important food and industrial material crop in the world. It is also an alternative source of bio-energy as a raw material for fuel production. The improvement of this crop by conventional hybridization is limited because of its high male sterility,incompatibility and the hexaploid nature. At the same time,the increased production of this crop is desired, but this goal is often limited by stresses,diseases and pests. Genetic engineering offers great potential for the improvement of sweetpotato. The successful application of this technique is dependent on the isolation of functional genes related to important traits.
