“…Several previous reports have found high oil contents in the seeds of A. trifoliata (30.2–48.8%) which also has a specific fatty acid profile, containing oleic acid (155.9–261.5 mg/g, 36.6–45.2%), linoleic acid (LA, 113.8–156.4 mg/g, 23.5–30.8%), and palmitic acid (PA, 101.8–149.1 mg/g, 20.3–25.7%). The ratio of saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acids is 1:1.5:1, which meets the World Health Organization's recommended standards for edible oil (Su et al, 2021 ). Another main nutrient found in the seed is protein, and its main components are albumin and glutelin (Du et al, 2012 ).…”

“…The oil content of seeds from different provenances was variable but high (30.2–48.8%), and the variation in their fatty acid profiles was significant. It has also been proposed that the species distribution of A. trifoliata around 35°N is more desirable for commercial cultivation for vegetable oil production, because of the much cooler and drier climate, along with larger diurnal temperature fluctuations which are beneficial to oil accumulation in A. trifoliata seeds (Su et al, 2021 ).…”

The genus Akebia belongs to the Lardizabalaceae family and comprises five species that are primarily distributed in East Asia. Plants of the Akebia genus comprise deciduous and semi-evergreen perennial twining vines that have been used in Chinese herbal medicine for at least 2000 years. The plants of this genus have the potential to form a novel forest crop with high nutritional and economic value because their fruit has a delicious sweet taste and rich nutrient components. In this study, we organized, analyzed, and evaluated the available published scientific literature on the botanical, ecological, and phytochemical characteristics of Akebia plants. Based on these studies, we briefly introduced botanical and ecological characteristics and focused on reviewing the development and utilization of wild genetic resources in the genus Akebia. We further explored the genus' rich nutritional components, such as triterpenes, flavonoids, polyphenols, polysaccharides, and fatty acids, and their potential use in food and health improvement applications. In addition, several papers describing advances in biotechnological research focusing on micropropagation, nutrient biosynthesis, and fruit ripeness were also included. This review provides comprehensive knowledge of the Akebia genus as a new forest crop for food and fruit utilization, and we also discuss future breeding and research prospects.

“…The flesh of mature fruit is delicious and contains many beneficial nutrients, such as sugars [ 6 ], free amino acids [ 3 ], vitamins [ 3 ], and minerals [ 7 ], which gradually make it a new fruit for consumption and health purposes [ 2 , 8 ]. Reports have also suggested that the mature fruit has many seeds that have a high oil content (usually above 45%), and the oil is rich [ 4 ] in saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acids, with a proportion close to 1:1:1 [ 9 ], which matches the composition of ideal oils recommended by an increasing number of authors [ 10 ] for nutritional and health purposes. Therefore, A. trifoliata also has enormous potential as a new edible oil crop.…”

Akebia trifoliata, a member of the family Lardizabalaceae, has high exploitation potential for multiple economic purposes, so genetic improvements to meet requirements for commercial demand are needed. However, this progress is largely impeded by a lack of effective selection markers. In this study, we obtained 271.49 Gb of clean transcriptomic data from 12 samples (three tissues at four developmental stages) of A. trifoliata fruit. We identified 175,604, 194,370, and 207,906 SSRs from the de novo assembled 416,363, 463,756, and 491,680 unigene sequences obtained from the flesh, seed, and rind tissues, respectively. The profile and proportion of SSR motifs expressed in each fruit tissue and developmental stage were remarkably similar, but many trinucleotide repeats had differential expression levels among different tissues or at different developmental stages. In addition, we successfully designed 16,869 functional EST-SSR primers according to the annotated unigenes. Finally, 94 and 72 primer pairs out of 100 randomly selected primer pairs produced clear bands and polymorphic bands, respectively. These results were also used to elucidate the expression profiles of different tissues at various stages. Additionally, we provided a set of effective, polymorphic, and reliable EST-SSR markers sufficient for accelerating the discovery of metabolic and pathway-specific functional genes for genetic improvement and increased commercial productivity.

“…Decne , which are the most economically important species (Daria et al, 2021). Akebia plays an important role in traditional Chinese medicine due to its excellent medicinal value, which is called “Yuzhizi.” It is worth mentioning that the stem of Akebia has been used for more than 2000 years to treat edema, tongue pain, amenorrhea, and so on (Su et al, 2021). In addition, its root and fruit can also be used as medicine, which has the effects of diuretic, milk‐promoting, relaxing tendons and activating collaterals, and treating rheumatic arthritis pain.…”

Akebia fruit is a plant used for both medicinal and edible purposes. In recent years, due to the rich phytochemical composition with bioactive effects, Akebia fruit has attracted increasing attention on its composition analysis, active ingredients identification, and product applications. For example, the protein, sugar, amino acids, and vitamin C content of the pulp is higher than that of ordinary fruit. The seeds are not only processed into edible oil, it is also rich in protein and have the potential to be developed into a new resource with beneficial effects on human health. However, the research on the understanding of Akebia as a plant fruit is relatively lacking. In this review, an overview of Akebia fruit from food perspectives, including extraction methods and phytochemicals, bioactive functions, and various applications, were summarized. Finally, based on the current status and existing challenges, the prospect and future development direction of Akebia fruit were discussed.
