Key Findings
- The study by North Minzu University focused on understanding the genetic basis of self-incompatibility (SI) in goji plants
- Researchers identified specific S loci in goji, which are regions in the plant's genome that control the SI response
- This discovery provides valuable insights for plant breeders to develop self-compatible goji varieties, potentially improving breeding and cultivation practices
