Abstract:

Sweetpotato is an important food, fodder and industrial raw material crop in the world. With the rapid development of high-throughput sequencing technologies, transcriptome sequencing technology has been widely used in sweetpotato studies. To better carry out research on functional gene mining and important trait regulation mechanisms analyzing in sweetpotato using transcriptomics techniques in the future, this study analyzed the profile of sweetpotato transcriptome data shared by research institutions in various countries, and summarized the applications and achievements of transcriptome sequencing technology in researches on sweetpotato over recent years, from the aspects of response to adversity stress, tuberous root development and starch synthesis. It was pointed out that there were still deficiencies in experimental design, data mining, and practicality of research results in current sweetpotato transcriptome studies. It was proposed that in further studies, transcriptomics technologies should be integrated with other omics technologies and genetic analysis methods to promote the continuous deepening of sweetpotato research.

Key words: sweetpotato, transcriptome, growth and development, stress resistance, quality formation, high-throughput sequencing, tuberous root development, starch synthesis
