Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: IbVP1
• Gene Name: H+-pyrophosphatase 1
• Genome:
• Species: Ipomoea batatas

Functional Descriptions:

• H+-pyrophosphatase IbVP1 promotes efficient iron use in sweet potato.
• The IbVP1-overexpressing plants showed better growth, including enlarged root systems, under Fe-sufficient or Fe-deficient conditions.
• Therefore, H+-PPase plays a key role in the response to Fe deficiency by sweet potato and effectively improves the Fe acquisition by overexpressing IbVP1 in crops cultivated in micronutrient-deficient soils.
• The H+-pyrophosphatase IbVP1 regulates carbon flux to influence the starch metabolism and yield of sweet potato.
• Our study shows that the IbVP1 gene plays an important role in regulating starch metabolism in sweet potato. Application of the VP1 gene in genetic engineering of sweet potato cultivars may allow the improvement of starch production and yield under stress or nutrient-limited conditions.
