Article Synopsis
- Litchi is an important fruit in China's horticulture market, and improving its fruit characteristics is essential for meeting consumer demands.
- A breeding program observed a mutant litchi with distinct differences in leaf shape and fruit peel cracking compared to the original plant, prompting a detailed analysis.
- Metabolome and transcriptome analyses revealed significant differences in the composition of metabolites and gene expressions between the mutant and the mother plant, which will aid in breeding litchi for better fruit taste and yield.
Litchi is an important commercial fruit crop widely grown in the world. Graft incompatibility between rootstocks and scions is a major constraint for large-scale cultivation of litchi orchards, popularization of new and excellent litchi varieties, and associated industrial development. Further, the genetic mechanism of graft incompatibility is still unclear in litchi.
