Diploid Wax Apple (syzygium Samarangense) Genome Identified NAC Genes Regulating Fruit Development.

Dear Editor, Syzygium samarangense,the wax apple,is a tropical plant species belonging to the eudicot Myrtaceae family.Common names include the wax apple,Java apple,rose apple,and wax jambu.Its native habitat is south Asia and Southeast Asia,and it was introduced to Chinese Taiwan in the 17th century and is now widely cultivated in the tropics.Nowadays it is cultivated in various regions of China[1],including provinces Guangdong,Hainan,and Guangxi.Wax apple is a typical tropical fruit that thrives in warm,humid climates and has a particular fondness for moist and fertile soil.Wax apples,with their high water content and richness in vitamin C,provide excellent hydration benefits for the skin when consumed.Additionally,it contains anthocyanins,which can neutralize harmful free radicals in the body.Wax apples are known for their distinctive aroma and serve as a natural febrifuge.Genome sequences serve as the cornerstone for genetic research and molecular breeding[2].As of now,there has been no available genome sequence for wax apples.
