Environmental and genetic factors influencing the spatial differentiation of wild Ziziphus jujuba var. spinosa quality in the eastern Foothills of the Taihang Mountains.

Abstract excerpt

Ziziphus jujuba var. spinosa (Z. jujuba), an important medicinal and edible plant, is well-known for its sedative properties. However, the factors influencing spatial variation in Z. jujuba quality, as well as the relative contributions of environmental and genetic factors, remain poorly understood. In this study, the eastern foothills of the Taihang Mountains were selected as the study area. By integrating...
