Pan-genome analysis of wax apple (Syzygium samarangense) and its association with fruit size and cold tolerance
This study provides the first pangenome resource for wax apple and reveals extensive genomic variation associated with key agronomic traits. The identified candidate genes and structural variants offer insights into the genetic mechanisms underlying fruit size and cold tolerance and provide a genomic foundation for trait improvement and molecular breeding of wax apple.
