Article Synopsis
- The chestnut tree shows self-incompatibility, where the type of male parent affects the metabolic processes for seed starch and ultimately influences fruit yield and quality.
- Researchers constructed a gap-free reference genome for the 'Lan You' variety of the chestnut tree, uncovering 560 transcription factors and 22 structural genes related to starch accumulation.
- Two sub-networks identified, T1 and T2, are linked to sugar biosynthesis and feature a critical gene, SBE, which is essential for amylopectin production; this research lays the groundwork for improving chestnut yield and quality.
is the most economically important Proteaceae crop known for its edible nuts. The present study was conducted to examine the effect of continuous cultivation (for 1, 5, and 20 years) of on soil quality, bacterial diversity, and metabolites. Soil rhizospheres from three different rhizosphere orchards, 1-year monoculture orchard (CK), 5-year monoculture orchard (Y5), and 20-year monoculture orchard (Y20), were analyzed through metagenomic and metabolomic profiling.

- Chestnut seeds are nutritious nuts that show metaxenia effects, meaning their characteristics can change based on the parent plants used for pollination.
- The study examined three varieties of chestnuts, analyzing their starch and sucrose metabolism at different stages after pollination (70, 82, and 94 days).
- Results showed that specific genes were expressed differently during these stages, particularly highlighting the importance of certain proteins and transcription factors in starch and sugar accumulation.
