The Torreya grandis genome illuminates the origin and evolution of gymnosperm-specific sciadonic acid biosynthesis
Torreya grandis is a gymnosperm species that produces edible seeds with high level of sciadonic acid (SCA). Here, the authors assemble the genome of this species, preform methylone analysis of seeds at different developmental stages, and reveal two key genes involved in SCA biosynthesis.
