SX and YD Longan have different cell wall structures and react differently to foliar B spray, indicating distinct B tolerance and management. Two B transporter NIP genes were traced to localize in the plasma membrane. However, under high B concentrations, their differential expression resulted in differences in Jasmonic acid content, leading to differences in germination rate. Pollination of YD using these NIPs transformed SX pollen also showed NIP1 overexpression might overcome the unilateral cross incompatibility between YD♀ × SX♂ and can be used to increase Longan production.
