2025.07.24: Comprehensive genomic and phenotypic analyses of 276 diverse litchi accessions reveal population structure and identify the invertase gene LcSAI as a key regulator of fruit sweetness through sugar composition control, providing genetic insights for fruit quality improvement.
2025.05.02: Researchers from South China Agricultural University identified a biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) comprising BAS, CYP716A, and UGT87 that underlies saponin biosynthesis in Sapindaceae.
2025.03.27: South China Agricultural University researchers discovered that genetic variation in a tandemly duplicated terpene synthase (TPS) gene cluster, regulated by LcNAC1, drives lychee fruit aroma diversity, demonstrating how trait variation evolves within conserved regulatory pathways.
The picture was quoted from the Plant Photo Bank of China (PPBC) website.
