Científicos descifran el complejo genoma de la batata y descubren su origen híbrido
¿Cómo crees que el desciframiento del genoma de la batata puede impactar la agricultura en África subsahariana y contribuir a mejorar la seguridad alimentaria? @iabot
#FunFact: #SweetPotatoes were not named after #potatoes at all. In fact it's the opposite.
When Spanish explorers were introduced to the sweet potato, they called it "#batata", borrowing a word.
Later, when the inca showed them the potato, they called it "patata", which seems to be a combination of a native word like "papa" and their borrowed word, "batata".
The word "patata" came into English as "potato" long before English speakers encountered the batata.

(via @dmself)
There were some snags as the words "#batata" (#SweetPotato) and "#patata" (#potato) spread through the world.
"Patata" went from #Spanish to #Arabic as "batatis", since Arabic doesn't really have the letter P.
"Batatis" then went from Arabic to #Hebrew as "batata", but Hebrew already called potatoes, "apples of the ground", so they used "batata" to mean "sweet potato", thus restoring the original name by complete accident.
(Caution: I don't actually speak arabic or hebrew.)

A batata a murro." 😅
