IbMYB1  was one of the major anthocyanin biosynthesis regulatory genes that has been identified and utilized in purple-fleshed sweet potato breeding. At least three members of this gene, namely,  IbMYB1-1 ,  -2a , and  -2b , have been reported. We found that  IbMYB1-2a  and  -2b  are not necessary for anthocyanin accumulation in a variety of cultivated species (hexaploid) with purple shoots or purplish rings/spots of flesh. Transcriptomic and quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) analyses revealed that persistent and vigorous expression of  IbMYB1  is essential to maintain the purple color of leaves and storage roots in this type of cultivated species, which did not contain  IbMYB1-2  gene members. Compared with  IbbHLH2 ,  IbMYB1  is an early response gene of anthocyanin biosynthesis in sweet potato. It cannot exclude the possibility that other  MYBs  participate in this gene regulation networks. Twenty-two  MYB-like  genes were identified from 156  MYBs  to be highly positively or negatively correlated with the anthocyanin content in leaves or flesh. Even so, the  IbMYB1  was most coordinately expressed with anthocyanin biosynthesis genes. Differences in flanking and coding sequences confirm that  IbMYB2s , the highest similarity genes of  IbMYB1 , are not the members of  IbMYB1 . This phenomenon indicates that there may be more members of  IbMYB1  in sweet potato, and the genetic complementation of these members is involved in the regulation of anthocyanin biosynthesis. The 3′ flanking sequence of  IbMYB1-1  is homologous to the retrotransposon sequence of  TNT1-94 . Transposon movement is involved in the formation of multiple members of  IbMYB1 . This study provides critical insights into the expression patterns of  IbMYB1 , which are involved in the regulation of anthocyanin biosynthesis in the leaf and storage root. Notably, our study also emphasized the presence of a multiple member of  IbMYB1  for genetic improvement.
