Medicago sativa cultivar:Zhongmu No.1 Genome sequencing. Medicago sativa cultivar:Zhongmu No.1

Alfalfa is one of the most important forage crop in the world, however, its molecular genetics and breeding research are hindered due to the lack of high-quality reference genome. Here we report a de novo assembled 816 Mb high-quality, chromosome-level haploid genome sequence for Zhongmu No.1 alfalfa, a heterozygous autotetraploid. The contig N50 is 3.92 Mb, and 49,165 genes are annotated in the genome.
