Description
Yutong Li and co-authors study a transporter gene tied to seed making in jujube trees, in this 2026 paper. Embryo abortion limits hybrid breeding in this fruit crop. The gene, ZjABCG15, belongs to a family of membrane pumps. The team profiled its sequence, its home in the cell membrane, and where it is active across tissues of one cultivar.
Its activity ran high in leaves and kernels. To test function, they raised and lowered the gene in a model plant. Boosted plants yielded about forty-four percent more seed per plant. Suppressed plants made fewer, shorter pods with more aborted seeds. The authors conclude the gene supports ovule-to-seed growth, while noting its direct role in jujube itself still needs proof.
