Improved Longan Genome Assembly Reveals Insights Into Flowering Mechanisms

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1678-1696, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Longan is an exotic tropical fruit crop and exhibits off‐season flowering induced by potassium chlorate (KClO3), though the molecular mechanisms remain unclear. We assembled a high‐quality, 441.5 Mb genome of variety ‘Shixia’, with a contig N50 at 28.1 Mb, 29, 325 protein‐coding genes, 26 telomeres and 15 centromeres.

The Diversity of the DNA‐Binding Landscape in the DREB/ERF Family: Focusing on Reproductive Processes in Fruit Trees With Highly Heterozygous Genome

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 2, Page 639-658, February 2026.
ABSTRACT DREB/ERF transcription factors play pivotal roles in plant development; however, their structural characteristics, DNA‐binding preferences, and functional roles in highly heterozygous woody plants remain insufficiently understood. Using lychee (Litchi chinensis) as a model, we identified 95 DREB/ERF genes subdivided into ten phylogenetic ...

Development and Characterization of Lychee‐Based Probiotic Gummy Jelly Containing Limosilactobacillus fermentum T0701

Journal of Food Processing and Preservation, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Gummy jelly is a food that can be used as a functional carrier for probiotics, bioactive substances, and vitamins. The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate a gummy jelly produced from lychee juice fermented with Limosilactobacillus fermentum T0701. The gummy jelly was prepared using lychee juice as a substrate and fermented with L.

Litchi postharvest physiology and handling

Crop Science, Volume 64, Issue 4, Page 2014-2063, July/August 2024.
Abstract Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) fruit, with its bright red color and sweet and juicy aril, is an important fruit crop in Asia, Africa, Australia, and South America. A major cause of the postharvest loss of litchi fruit is browning and decay.

The transcriptional control of LcIDL1–LcHSL2 complex by LcARF5 integrates auxin and ethylene signaling for litchi fruitlet abscission

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 66, Issue 6, Page 1206-1226, June 2024.
The transcription factors LcARF5 and LcEIL3 directly activate the ligand‐receptor pair of LcIDL1‐LcHSL2, thus integrating auxin and ethylene signaling to initiate cell separation during fruitlet abscission in litchi. ABSTRACT At the physiological level, the interplay between auxin and ethylene has long been recognized as crucial for the regulation of ...

A‐type proanthocyanidins: Sources, structure, bioactivity, processing, nutrition, and potential applications

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 23, Issue 3, May 2024.
Abstract A‐type proanthocyanidins (PAs) are a subgroup of PAs that differ from B‐type PAs by the presence of an ether bond between two consecutive constitutive units. This additional C–O–C bond gives them a more stable and hydrophobic character. They are of increasing interest due to their potential multiple nutritional effects with low toxicity in ...
