Variations in physicochemical properties of starches were found in sweetpotato varieties.
TNG31 and TNN18 produced starches with distinctly different physicochemical properties.
AM content was related to pasting and thermal parameters, swelling, solubility, and textures.
GBSS and SS activity reflected the abundance of GBSS and SS mRNA in TNG31 and TNN18.
Expression of AGPase, GBSS, SS, and SBE in TNN18 substantially increased AM content.
