Description
Kenta Shirasawa and six co-authors build, in 2024 work, the first full gene map of acerola, a tropical shrub famed for fruit rich in vitamin C. Breeders want to raise that food value, and gene tools can speed the work even in long-lived fruit plants. Till now, such tools for acerola were scarce.
Long, clean gene reads plus a cross map gave ten large stretches that span the shrub's full set of genes, with tens of thousands of genes placed. A family tree built from gene marks across sixty breeding lines fell into three clear groups. The team offers the map, the gene list, and the family tree as a base for faster breeding and for work on kin plants.
