Improved Longan Genome Assembly Reveals Insights Into Flowering Mechanisms
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.

Good nutrition in pregnancy and early life plays a key role in shaping the offspring gut microbiota, which supports healthy growth, immune maturation, and neurodevelopment. Poor maternal and early‐life diets can disrupt this process, increasing the risk of obesity, undernutrition, and disease later in life.
