| Description | Tung tree (Vernicia fordii), a woody oil plant native to China a, is widely distributed in the subtropical area. As an oil crop, economic traits involved in fatty acid biosynthesis and oil accumulation are the targets of improved breeding efficiency for tung tree. However, identification of important genes, gene families and marker loci associated with oil content, fatty acid composition, and fruit yield has been hampered due to a lack of genetic and genomic information. The objective of this project is to obtain the whole genome sequence information and provide valuable resources for molecular breeding and genetic improvement of tung tree. A high-quality, chromosome-scale tung tree genome sequence of 1.12 Gb with 28,422 predicted genes and over 73% repeat sequences were achieved. Tung tree genome was assembled by combining Illumina short reads, PacBio single-molecule real-time long reads and Hi-C sequencing data. | |||||||||||||||
