Description
Kim leads a team hunting genes behind key seed traits in perilla, an East Asian oilseed crop, in a 2025 paper. The seeds are rich in healthy oils and plant compounds. Their genetic controls were largely unknown.
Hundreds of perilla lines were genotyped at tens of thousands of markers. Nine traits were scored, from capsule length to seed coat color. Six markers stood out across five chromosomes. Two lead markers tied to seed weight and coat color. Both sat inside candidate genes and changed their protein code. Related genes are conserved in other plant families. The findings offer targets for marker-assisted breeding of better seed quality and yield.
