Of particular importance to the tung oil industry was oil content and flower production including bud production, dormancy, pollination, and fruit set.
Can Tung seed be used in other commodity oilseed crops?
The recalcitrance of this tung seed activity to traditional purification methods quickly led to a revised approach wherein the necessary genes from tung could be identified, studied in model systems in the laboratory, and then introduced into other commodity oilseed crops with amenable agronomic characteristics.
What is a tung tree?
The oils produced from the seeds of the tung tree (also known as the China wood oil tree) [ Vernicia fordii (Hemsl.) and Vernicia montana (Lour.)] (previously Aleurites fordii and Aleurites montana) ( Govaerts, 1966) occupy an important niche in the industrial vegetable oils market.
