  • Where are tung trees grown?
  • Tung trees ( Vernicia fordii Hemsl.) are native to China and were grown in the U.S. Gulf Coast region, mostly U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) cold hardiness zones 8 and 9, for tung oil production from 1937 to 1969 ( Robb and Travis, 2013 ). Tung oil production ranged from northern Florida to Texas during the tung oil industry boom.
  • What is tung tree oil?
  • Hu Lisong, in Industrial Oil Crops, 2016 Tung tree oil is a valuable, chemically unique plant oil. Primarily known for its useful properties as a drying oil, it has been used in the production of paints, dyes, inks, and various specialty products for decades.
  • Why is the tung tree genome important?
  • The tung tree genome constitutes a valuable resource for understanding genome evolution, as well as for molecular breeding and genetic improvements for oil production. Tung tree ( Vernicia fordii ), a woody oil plant native to China, is widely distributed in the subtropical area.
  • Where did Tung oil come from?
  • Tung oil production ranged from northern Florida to Texas during the tung oil industry boom. Pearl River County in southern Mississippi, where the USDA¡ªAgricultural Research Service (ARS) Thad Cochran Southern Horticultural Laboratory (TCSHL) is located, had more than 60,000 acres of tung trees in production at one time.
  • Does tung tree produce eleostearic acid?
  • Tung tree ( Vernicia fordii) is an economically important woody oil plant that produces tung oil rich in eleostearic acid. Here, we report a high-quality chromosome-scale genome sequence of tung tree.
  • Why did the USDA start a price support program for tung oil?
  • In 1942, the USDA began a price support program for domestic tung oil to stabilize profits for the young industry and help ensure long-term viability. A system for loans and seed/oil purchases was administered by the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) of the USDA.
