SUNNY YEUNG, team manager for the undefeated Blue Blazers under-8 soccer squad, was handing out shiny, mahogany red treats during pregame warmups. “Have a date, Coach,” she said to me. “They’re from ...

A new study has unveiled the genetic mechanism controlling citric acid content in jujube fruit, identifying a natural mutation in the promoter of the ZjACO3 gene. This mutation is strongly associated ...

The complete, high quality sequencing of the jujube genome has been announced by researchers. Jujube is the most economically important member of the Rhamnaceae family, and the jujube genome is ...

A website bearing the title “Gardening Know How” refers to the jujube tree as an “exotic”, which is certainly true around Tehama County. We were introduced to this tree through Martin’s Garden, a ...

FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. (KFSN) -- A sweet, football-shaped fruit called jujube is gaining traction in the Central Valley and beyond. Fresno farmer Lam Truong grows over 9,500 Honey Jujube trees across ...

Let’s get one thing straight: The fruit from the jujube tree has nothing in common with the corn-starch confectionary of the same name. You won’t lose a filling while chewing on a jujube right off the ...

The future of the fast growing West Australian jujube industry is threatened by a shortage of trees. Jujubes, also known as Chinese Dates, are a drought and salt tolerant fruit that have been grown in ...

Researchers have sequenced the genome of the dry jujube. They identified the genomic region that underlies the sugar and acid content of the fruits -- a key factor in jujube domestication -- as well ...
