In vitro plantlets were obtained from the stem segments of root suckers in 198398. After 1995, research on jujube tissue culture increased rapidly, and tissue culture with stem tips, stem segments, leaves, anthers, embryos, and cotyledons as explants were all successful83,86,87,99,100. Chen, J., Mu, Q. & Zhou, B. Flora of China, Vol. Plant J.2, 147153 (2016). Jujube grafting took place 1000 years ago, and the intercropping of jujube with cereal crops had become popular by about 600 years ago. Based on a systematic analysis of the unique characteristics of jujube, we suggest that it deserves to be recognized as a superfruit. by high-performance liquid chromatography. What Makes a Root Produce a Sucker? Resour.10, 121125 (2009). Moreover, 2000 years ago, jujube had spread throughout China, large-scale jujube commercial production areas had developed, and jujube had become one of the five most important fruit trees in China, namely, peach, apricot, plum, chestnut, and jujube. Jujube research can be roughly divided into five periods as follows10. Hebei Agricultural University, Baoding (2011). (4) Year-round fresh fruit supply: integrating the selection of cultivars with different maturation times, half-red harvesting, shelf life preservation, long-distance cold transportation, and long-term storage techniques such as controlled freezing-point storage, as well as protected cultivation, for advancing or delaying ripening and preventing fruit cracking. Sin.20, 8691 (1987). Acta Hortic.993, 209213 (2013). J. Chin. Acta Hortic.853, 163170 (2010). The results of sensory tests and analyses with common consumers of different ages and origins are positive and encouraging14,152. Given the demands of the new era, the development tendencies of the modern fruit industry and the new technologies available, jujube research in China is facing a series of important challenges.

Koch)cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) alley cropping system in the southern United States. Genome sequencing-based multiomics analysis combining transcriptome, proteome, metabolome, and phenotypic data has taken horticultural research to a new level. However, the earliest records and evidence from Iran and Japan could only be traced back to 2000 YA, when SinoJapan exchanges became popular and Zhang Qian was sent on a diplomatic mission to west Asia and European countries during the Han Dynasty. Agr. Qu et al. Generally, growers prefer fruit trees that crop early, reach high and stable yields quickly, and have light pest pressure, easy management, low cultivation costs, and high economic benefits. Contorted Jujube Root system - how invasive and strong is it? Plant Physiol.224-225, 110 (2018). Effect of root pruning on competitive abilityin Chinese jujube tree The tree can be propagated by seed or root sprout. Converting dehydroascorbic acid to AsA (vitamin C) resolved the bottleneck problem in the determination of dehydroascorbic acid, and accurate determination methods for the two kinds of vitamin C in jujube were finalized141,143. tortuosa Hort., Z. jujuba Mill.

Google Scholar, Bhm W (1979) Methods of studying root systems. Sin.31, 7880 (2004). Currently, under the optimal storage conditions, half-red fresh jujube can be preserved for 23 months or even more than 4 months. The latter was further divided into Ser. There are many traditional processed jujube products, such as candied jujube, smoked jujube, stoneless sugared jujube, jujube liquor, liquor-saturated jujube, jujube jam, jujube paste, and so on103,148,149. Sci. The traditional production technology maturation period (Northern Wei Dynastythe founding of the Peoples Republic of China, or 500 CE1949 CE). Since the 1980s, various cultivation techniques focusing on high yield were developed for the leading cultivars and main production areas, which increased production by over 50%, increased the high-quality fruit rate by over 30%, and reduced pesticide use by over 50%102,103. & Meng, X. Actuality and development of jujube grader. Zhao, A., Li, D., Wang, Y., Sui, C. & Cao, Y. Fu found that controlled freezing-point storage was better than normal cold storage in terms of delaying ripening and aging126.

Zhang, X. Metabolomic Approaches Reveal the Physiological Mechanism of China Cointree as Jujubes Stock in Resistance to Jujube Witches Broom. Wow, I recently learned a lot about the jujube root system --- very invasive roots with suckers looking for water that can extend 30' from the tree. Consumers usually prefer large fruits, but increasing fruit size by applying more fertilizer and plant regulators may result in poor fruit quality.

Marketers prefer fruits that can be easily transported from production areas and have long shelf lives and large markets. Change of several nutrients in Jun jujube during drying process. The basic ideas for jujube research in the future are as follows: serve the producers, consumers, marketers, government, and society at the same time; learn from experiences with other fruit trees; align with modern global agricultural development, including the reduction of chemical pesticides and environmentally friendly approaches153; carry out innovative research in various fields, multiple levels, and through whole industrial chains; and strongly support the advancement of science and technology for the jujube industry in the new era. Yan, X., Wang, W., Liu, M., & Zhao, Z. The traditional production technology development period (end of Han DynastyNorthern Wei Dynasty, or 1 CE500 CE). Univ. Using the genome data, 511 pairs of SSR primers showing high polymorphism were screened and applied for the identification of large-scale hybrid progeny and a genetic diversity analysis18,19,20.

In addition, the distinct trait of the bearing shoot falling in winter is related to the ethylene and abscisic acid (ABA) pathways12. var.

Consumers like fruits that are delicious and nutritious and that appeal to appearance and status. Moreover, at the end of the Shang Dynasty, the description of Jujube picked in August in the Book of Songs indicated that jujube orchards had appeared by at least 3000 YA. However, the Rhamnaceae family was moved to the Rosales order in the APG III Angiosperm Phylogeny Group Classification based on chloroplast DNA sequencing (Angiosperm Phylogeny Group III, 2009), which was further confirmed by phylogenic studies on the genome-sequenced plant species using 390 shared genes64. & Jiang, Y.) Therefore, jujubes will attract increasing attention worldwide. Chenguang, a new tetraploid Chinese jujube cultivar. var. The overall objective should be to meet the various needs of farmers, processers, marketers and consumers. B, Hortic.XLIII, 203206 (2000). PubMed The fruits are smaller and not so sweet.
