DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3008
Abstract: Abstract Several North American trees are hypothesized to have lost their co‐evolved seed disperser during the late‐Pleistocene extinction and are therefore considered anachronistic. We tested this hypothesis for the American persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) by studying… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10658-020-02063-0
Abstract: Three novel viruses were detected from Japanese persimmon ‘Reigyoku’ (Diospyros kaki), which grows poorly when top-grafted onto some interstocks. The genomic characterization and the phylogenetic analysis of these viruses indicated that they are likely new… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2017.00149
Abstract: The astringency of Chinese pollination-constant non-astringent (C-PCNA) persimmon (Diospyros kaki Thunb.) can be naturally removed on the tree. This process is controlled by a single locus and is dominant against other types of persimmons; therefore,… read more here.

DkmiR397 Regulates Proanthocyanidin Biosynthesis via Negative Modulating DkLAC2 in Chinese PCNA Persimmon
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "International Journal of Molecular Sciences"
DOI: 10.3390/ijms23063200
Abstract: Persimmon fruits accumulate a large amount of proanthocyanidins (PAs), which makes an astringent sensation. Proanthocyanidins (PAs) are the polymers of flavan-3-ols stored in plant vacuoles under laccase activation. A laccase gene, DkLAC2, is putatively involved… read more here.
