Fatty acid profile and unigene-derived simple sequence repeat markers in tung tree (Vernicia fordii).

Tung tree (Vernicia fordii) provides the sole source of tung oil widely used in industry. Lack of fatty acid composition and molecular markers hinders biochemical, genetic and breeding research. The objectives of this study were to determine fatty acid profiles and develop unigene-derived simple seq...
