What Can We Learn From the Lychee Genome?

Scientists have used genomics to peer even deeper into the lychee’s history. And in the process, they’ve uncovered insights that could help shape the species’ future, too.

Lychee Genome Reveals Natural History and Predicts Flowering

Exotic fruits that mature within a small seasonal window and are difficult to store must be consumed quickly, making it hard for farmers to make a profit. Scientists have now created a reference sequence of one such tropical fruit, lychee, and applied insights on genetic variations to develop a simple genetic test that predicts when the tree will flower and fruit, when the plant is still young.
