Crosses were made between 21 tetraploid accessions and 41 diploid accessions of Ipomoea trifida, obtaining a total of 9185 triploid seeds from 215 different cross combinations. Doubling the somatic chromosome number of the triploids was attempted by colchicine treatment on young seedlings to obtain synthetic hexaploids. A total of 787 axillary buds of 316 triploid plants were treated with a 0.5% colchicine solution for 24 h, applied to cotton plugs surrounding the buds. The survival rate of the treated buds was, on average, 41%. The ploidy level in germ-layer L2 was determined in 258 clones by evaluating a pollen sample from each clone. Fifty-five clones were selected for high stainability and pollen size. The selected genotypes were meiotically analyzed. Twenty-two of them were identified as hexaploid and 33 as triploid with 2n pollen production. The present study is the first report on 2n pollen production in triploid plants of Ipomoea species. The use of these triploid clones with 2n pollen production and synthetic hexaploid clones for sweet-potato breeding is discussed.Key words: Ipomoea batatas, Ipomoea trifida, colchicine, triploids, 2n pollen.

Twenty-two synthetic hexaploids and 33 triploids with 2n pollen production of Ipomoea trifida were used in crosses to estimate their male and female fertility and their crossability with sweet potato, Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam. Several important conclusions were drawn. (i) The fertility of pollen of the triploid plants was confirmed, which suggested they are truly functional 2n pollen. (ii) The average male fertility of hexaploid plants was higher than that of triploid with 2n pollen production plants. (iii) 2n egg production was observed in several triploid genotypes, (iv) From a polycross, 3079 seeds with normal shapes were produced. These represent a population of hexaploid I. trifida with a wide genetic base, and they may be important material for sweet-potato improvement, (v) A total of 3275 seeds were obtained from crosses with six sweet-potato female parents, of which only 60 germinated, indicating the existence of an interspecific barrier. The implications of 2n gametes for breeding and evolution of sweet potato are also discussed.Key words: Ipomoea batatas, Ipomoea trifida, 2n gametes, sexual polyploidization, triploid.

Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L. Lam) ranks second in world wide root and tuber production. Loss of genetic resources in the primary centers of origin have been occurring for a number of years. Utilization of the genetic diversity of wild types and related species cart expand breeding potential and efficiency. Two species, Ipomoea trifida and Ipomoea triloba, have been identified as possible progenitor species or sweet potato. Plant improvement at the cellular level using protoplasts is a novel alternative to conventional breeding practices. Protoplast plating efficiency appears to be genotype dependent. Roots have been regenerated from Ipomoea trifida protoplasm calli on Murashige and Skoog's medium containing zeatin or kinetin.

AbstrakKerabat liar ubi jalar Ipomoea trifida asal Citatah Jawa Barat potensial digunakan dalam program pemuliaan tanaman ubi jalar (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) Untuk mengetahui diversitas genetik I. trifida  dilakukan pengamatan terhadap karakter kromosom. Bahan tanaman yang digunakan  adalah 10 spesies I. trifida berumbi. Hubungan kekerabatan antar spesies diketahui melalui analisis klaster dan Analisis Komponen Utama/Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Hasil pengamatan menunjukkan pengujian pada 10 aksesi I. trifida berumbi dengan menggunakan 9 karakter kromosom menghasilkan jarak ketidakmiripan (Euclidean coeffisien) yang berkisar 1,75 – 6,22 dan menunjukkan diversitas yang luas. Dendogram yang dihasilkan pada jarak ketidakmiripan 5,23 menunjukkan terbentuknya 3 klaster utama. Analisis Komponen Utama (PCA) menghasilkan 2 komponen utama pertama (PC1 dan PC2) yang telah dapat menjelaskan 89,64% dari total variasi. Kata kunci : Ipomoea trifida, Analisis Klaster, Analisis Komponen UtamaAbstractWild relatives of sweet potato, Ipomoea trifida originated from Citatah West Java was potential use in plant breeding programs of Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam. To determine the genetic diversity of I. trifida, observation on characters of chromosomes of I.trifida was conducted. Plant materials used ten accessions  of tubered-I. trifida. Relationship between species identified by cluster analysis and Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The results showed that the observation on the 10 accession of tubered-I. trifida using 9 characters chromosome produces dissimilarities distance (Euclidean coefficient) ranging from 1.75 to 6.22. Dendogram generated  at a dissimilarity distance of 5.23 showed the formation of three main clusters. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) produced first two principal component (PC1 and PC2), which has been able to explain 89.64% of the total variation.Keyword  : Ipomoea trifida, Clustering Analysis, Principal Component Analysis

Previous work in this laboratory identified high levels of unreduced (2n) pollen in the tetraploid (4×) Ipomoea spp. Acc. 81.2. This work provided indirect evidence that 2n pollen was involved in the evolution of the 6x ploidy level of the cultivated sweetpotato (I. batatas). To further study the role of 2n pollen in sweetpotato evolution, we examined plants of Acc. 81.2. plants of five sweetpotato cultivars, and 100 randomly selected heterozygous sweetpotato seedlings. The 4× Acc. 81.2 was determined to be I. batatas. High levels of large 2n pollen were confirmed in Acc. 81.2, and low levels of 2n pollen were observed in `Sulfur' and in 16% of the sweetpotato seedlings. Presence of monad, dyad, and triad sporads confirmed that the large 2n pollen grains were the result of nonreduction in the sporad stage. These new findings are direct evidence that 2n pollen was involved in the evolution of the 6× ploidy level of sweetpotato. This is the first report of a 4× accession classified as I. batatas; it is also the first report of 2n pollen in 6× I. batatas The widespread presence of 2n pollen in sweetpotato suggests that the trait can be used to advantage in breeding programs to introgress genes from wild 4× Ipomoea spp. into cultivated 6× sweetpotato without adverse effects on genetic stability or fertility.

Jasmonate ZIM-domain (JAZ) proteins are key repressors of a jasmonic acid signaling pathway. They play essential roles in the regulation of plant growth and development, as well as environmental stress responses. However, this gene family has not been explored in sweet potato. In this study, we identified 14, 15, and 14 JAZs in cultivated hexaploid sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas, 2n = 6x = 90), and its two diploid relatives Ipomoea trifida (2n = 2x = 30) and Ipomoea triloba (2n = 2x = 30), respectively. These JAZs were divided into five subgroups according to their phylogenetic relationships with Arabidopsis. The protein physiological properties, chromosome localization, phylogenetic relationship, gene structure, promoter cis-elements, protein interaction network, and expression pattern of these 43 JAZs were systematically investigated. The results suggested that there was a differentiation between homologous JAZs, and each JAZ gene played different vital roles in growth and development, hormone crosstalk, and abiotic stress response between sweet potato and its two diploid relatives. Our work provided comprehensive comparison and understanding of the JAZ genes in sweet potato and its two diploid relatives, supplied a theoretical foundation for their functional study, and further facilitated the molecular breeding of sweet potato.
