IPOMOEA AEQUATORIENSIS

Scientists have recently discovered a species called Ipomoea Aequatoriensis, also known as the Ecuadorian morning glory, which is closely related to the sweet potato. This finding suggests that this newly found plant, with its stringy and pale root, played a role in the evolution of the sweet potato we have today By studying their genetic similarities, researchers have uncovered important connections between the Ecuadorian morning glory and the sweet potato. This discovery not only helps us understand how the sweet potato developed but also highlights the need to protect biodiversity for future agricultural advancements and the well-being of our planet
