Abstract excerpt
In sweetpotato, the quantitative variation of anthocyanin accumulation produces a continuous color spectrum that underpins both ornamental appeal and nutritional quality across cultivar species. Although previous studies have established that the expression of IbMYB1 is essential for purple pigmentation in germplasm, this gene exists in multiple copies within the polyploid genome, rendering the resulting genetic...
