From: Transcriptional profiling of sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas) roots indicates down-regulation of lignin biosynthesis and up-regulation of starch biosynthesis at an early stage of storage root formation

Figure 7

Starch levels in developing adventitious roots around the timing of storage root initiation. Root samples of Georgia Jet were pooled from five to seven plants at 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks after transplanting, spanning the period of storage root (SR) initiation. Data represent an average of three biological replicates ± SE. “Fibrous roots” represent fibrous root samples derived from plants at 8 weeks after transplanting (at least 4 weeks past the period of SR initiation).
