Abstract

Sweet potato (Ipomoea batata L) has gained increasing attention in recent years because of its exceptional nutritional value and health benefits. Especially, purple-fleshed sweet potato (PFSP) varieties which are rich in anthocyanin. This review brings an update based on the on transcriptomics and metabolomics strategies to reveal anthocyanin accumulation in sweet potato. The purple-fleshed sweet potato has higher concentration of anthocyanins that are potent antioxidants, with cardio protective, anticancer, antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory properties. This paper brings together the latest findings regarding anthocyanin biosynthesis and regulation through transcriptomic and metabolomic approaches. The key findings reveal that omics technologies play a key role in deciphering the complex association between environmental and genetic factors that regulate anthocyanin production. The application of the omics has facilitated the identification of molecular markers for breeding purpose increasing anthocyanin content in the plant. These anthocyanin rich sweet potatoes constitute a number of health benefits and prevent different disorders. The baseline message is the vital role of ongoing omics projects in developing high-yielding sweet potato varieties with enhanced anthocyanin content, thus contributing to public health and food security.

整合组学研究甘薯花青素积累

近年来，甘薯（Ipomoea batata L）因其独特的营养价值和健康益处而受到越来越多的关注。特别是富含花青素的紫肉甘薯（PFSP）品种。本文综述了基于转录组学和代谢组学研究甘薯花青素积累的最新进展。紫瓤红薯含有高浓度的花青素，是一种有效的抗氧化剂，具有保护心脏、抗癌、抗糖尿病和抗炎的特性。本文汇集了花青素生物合成和调控的最新研究成果，通过转录组学和代谢组学的方法。关键发现表明，组学技术在破译调节花青素产生的环境和遗传因素之间的复杂关联方面发挥了关键作用。组学技术的应用为提高花青素含量的育种提供了分子标记。这些富含花青素的红薯对健康有很多好处，可以预防不同的疾病。基线信息是，正在进行的组学项目在开发花青素含量更高的高产甘薯品种方面发挥了至关重要的作用，从而促进了公共卫生和粮食安全。

期刊介绍： Scientia Horticulturae is an international journal publishing research related to horticultural crops. Articles in the journal deal with open or protected production of vegetables, fruits, edible fungi and ornamentals under temperate, subtropical and tropical conditions. Papers in related areas (biochemistry, micropropagation, soil science, plant breeding, plant physiology, phytopathology, etc.) are considered, if they contain information of direct significance to horticulture. Papers on the technical aspects of horticulture (engineering, crop processing, storage, transport etc.) are accepted for publication only if they relate directly to the living product. In the case of plantation crops, those yielding a product that may be used fresh (e.g. tropical vegetables, citrus, bananas, and other fruits) will be considered, while those papers describing the processing of the product (e.g. rubber, tobacco, and quinine) will not. The scope of the journal includes all horticultural crops but does not include speciality crops such as, medicinal crops or forestry crops, such as bamboo. Basic molecular studies without any direct application in horticulture will not be considered for this journal.
