Originally included in Aleurites, Reutealis and Vernicia are considered generically distinct on account of differences in the indumentum, leaf base, inflorescences, number of stamens and fruit type.
Aleurites (2 species) differs from Reutealis and Vernicia by the more numerous stamens arranged in 4 rather than in 2 whorls, and the indehiscent fruits.
The monotypic genus Reutealis can easily be distinguished from Aleurites and Vernicia by its five-ribbed angular rather than terete twigs, the presence of rather persistent, hooded bracts, and spatulately flattened rather than terete stigmas.

 ARS | Publication request: Production of Linolenic Acid in Yeast Cells Expressing An Omega-3 Desaturase from Tung ...
Increasing the polyunsaturated fatty acid content of oils, however, requires identification of enzymes that are capable of producing high amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids in oils.
Accomplishment: We have identified an enzyme from the tung tree (Aleurites fordii) that, when expressed in yeast cells, produces up to 18% polyunsaturated fatty acids in the cells.
Expression of this cDNA in yeast cells, cultured in the presence of linoleic acid, resulted in synthesis and accumulation of linolenic acid, which accounted for up to 18% wt/wt of total cellular fatty acids.
