| Abstract | Yellow-horn (Xanthoceras sorbifolium Bunge), a plant endemic to northern China, is resistant to drought, cold, saline stress, and barren soil, but cannot withstand excess moisture (Ao et al., 2012). Yellow-horn has been cultivated for more than 6000 years in China. It is an oilseed crop, and the oil content of the seeds can be as high as 65%. The oil can be used for cooking, as well as for medicine and biofuel production (Liu et al., 2017). The seed oil has traditionally been used for cooking and lighting. In recent years, the development and use of biodiesel produced from yellow-horn have received increased attention as a result of the energy crisis. The seed kernels of yellow-horn are rich in nutrients and contain 55% crude fat, 15% soluble sugar, and mineral elements (Xie and Zhang, 2018). Yellow-horn is widely distributed and shows extensive morphological variation, especially in flower type and color. It is also widely used as a landscaping tree species (Gao et al., 2002; Xu et al., 2010). Because of its high ecological, economic, and ornamental value, the cultivation of yellow-horn has received much attention in China in recent years. |
