Transcriptomic analyses of piperitone inhibited sprouting of 'Yan 25' sweet potato storage roots.

ABSTRACT: Sprouting of sweet potato during transportation and storage is a serious problem leads to weight loss and quality degradation. In this study, the effect of piperitone in inhibiting sprouting of 'Yan 25' sweet potato was analyzed through physiological and transcriptomic analyses. The results showed that untreated 'Yan 25' sweet potatoes sprouted after 14 d at 30 °C. While sweet potatoes treated with 150 μL/23 L piperitone did not grow any sprouts after 14 d. Furthermore, the investigation into the effect of piperitone on established sweet potato sprouts showed that the sprouts were damaged with the MDA content increased by 35 % after 18 h of piperitone fumigation, which then died after 48 h. The transcriptomic analyses showed that genes from the pathways of somatic embryogenesis, plant horm
