Description
Kui Yan and co-authors mapped a gene family in the tree Phoebe zhennan in a 2026 genome study. The genes make chalcone synthase, an enzyme that drives the making of flavonoids in plants. The team linked these genes to the prized golden thread look of the wood and to how the tree copes with drought.
The search found 11 working genes spread over six chromosomes, sorted into three groups by shared traits. Gene copies had grown through one tandem event and five larger segment jumps in the past. One gene stood out, rising in the zone where wood changes hue and under dry stress, which marks it as a lead for breeding work.
