Recently, symptoms of leaf rot and leaf blight caused by species were observed in a one-year-old experimental plantation in GuangXi Province, southern China.

Transcriptome analyses reveals the dynamic nature of oil accumulation during seed development of Plukenetia volubilis L.

Sacha inchi (Plukenetia volubilis L.) is a shrub native to Amazon rainforests that's of commercial interest as its seeds contain 35-60% edible oil (dry weight). This oil is one of the healthiest vegetable oils due to its high polyunsaturated fatty acid content and favourable ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids.
