Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: IbpreproHypSys
  • Gene Name: hydroxyproline-rich preprosystemin
  • Genome:
  • Species: Ipomoea batatas

Functional Descriptions:

  • The expression of IbpreproHypSys, encoding the precursor of IbHypSys, was induced in sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas cv. Tainung 57) through wounding and IbHypSys treatments by using jasmonate and H2O2.
  • These results indicated that IbpreproHypSys expression contributed towards sending and receiving the systemic signals that induced IPO expression.
  • Analysing the genes involved in the phenylpropanoid pathway demonstrated that lignin biosynthesis was activated after synthetic IbHypSys treatment. IbpreproHypSys expression in sweet potato suppressed Spodoptera litura growth.
  • In conclusion, wounding induced the expression of IbpreproHypSys, whose protein product was processed into IbHypSys. IbHypSys stimulated IbpreproHypSys and IPO expression and enhanced lignin biosynthesis, thus protecting plants from insects.
