Scientists decipher genome map of Lycium barbarum

Lycium barbarum, commonly known as goji berry, is renowned for its pectin polysaccharides (LBPPs), which offer a range of benefits including antioxidant, immune-regulating, and anti-aging effects. However, the absence of a genetic map for Lycium barbarum has hindered our understanding of the synthesis and regulatory mechanisms of its active components, limiting its applications in molecular breeding and biotechnology.
