Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) is an important food crop in the world, and its tuberous roots are sources of human nutrition in many countries, especially in tropical and subtropical areas. In sweet potato tuberous roots, starch is a major constituent and it is not only applied for food production but also for a wide variety of industrial applications. Therefore, genetic engineering of starch composition and quality in sweet potato will has a great potential for new dietary and industrial product. In this study, we tried to make transgenic sweet potato which over-express foreign recombination genes – Ubi::GFP、Ubi::mGMCSF and SPO::APU. Amylopullulanase, a thermostable and bifunctional starch hydrolase, by two borders set technology to create a selection marker free transgenic plants. We obtained eight independent transgenic plants. Genomic PCR and southern blot hybridization confirmed that putative transformants contains the recombinant amylopullulanase gene. We are analyzing the expression level of amylopullulanase in these independent transgenic sweet potatos. In the further, we will examine the amylopullulanase activity in these independent transgenic plants. We expect amylopullulanase alter starch properties of sweet potato tuberous roots in order to accelerate bioprocessing of starch and produce less starch and high maltose roots. Expression of the transgenes (GFP、GMCSF and APU) in transgenic plants was confirmed by RT-PCR. Therefore, we report a successful and reliable Agrobacterium mediated transformation for sweet potato cultivar TNG31. Also, the transformation system has potential to develop new varieties of sweet potato with several important genes for value-add traits.
