Plastidial Phosphoglucomutase (<i>pPGM</i>) Overexpression Increases the Starch Content of Transgenic Sweet Potato Storage Roots

Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas), an important root crop, has storage roots rich in starch that are edible and serve as a raw material in bioenergy production. Increasing the storage-root starch contents is a key sweet potato breeding goal. Phosphoglucomutase (PGM) is the catalytic enzyme for the inte...
