Description
Jinyu Yang and co-authors develop, in twenty twenty-four, an enzyme to raise grafting success in a valuable Chinese tree, Eucommia ulmoides. The tree yields gum and is used in traditional medicine. Its value differs by sex, and sex is hard to tell in a long-lived tree. Grafting lets growers pick the sex. An enzyme that digests part of plant cell walls can help the joined tissues fuse, but extracting it from the tree is hard. The team cloned the tree's gene for that enzyme.
They produced the enzyme in engineered yeast under tuned conditions. The purified enzyme was active in lab tests. Applied at three doses to grafts, it sped wound healing and raised survival. The authors offer it as a tool for growers.
