Genome-Wide Analysis of Sweet Potato Ammonium Transporter (AMT): Influence on Nitrogen Utilization, Storage Root Development and Yield.

ABSTRACT: Ammonium, as a major inorganic source of nitrogen (N) for sweet potato N utilization and growth, is specifically transported by ammonium transporters (AMTs). However, the activities of AMT family members in sweet potatoes have not been analyzed. In the present study, the sweet potato cultivar 'Pushu 32', which is planted in a large area in China, was used in field experiments at the Agricultural Base of Hainan University (20°06' N, 110°33' E) in 2021, and Sanya Nanfan Research Institute of Hainan University (18°30' N, 109°60' E) in 2022. Four N levels were tested: 0, 60, 120, and 180 kg ha^-1. The results are as follows. Twelve IbAMT genes were identified in the sweet potato genome, which were classified into three distinct subgroups based on phylogeny; the s
