Chromosome-level genome assembly of <i>Platycarya strobilacea</i>

<i>Platycarya strobilacea</i> belongs to the walnut family (Juglandaceae), is commonly known as species endemic to East Asia, and is an ecologically important, wind pollinated, woody deciduous tree<i>.</i> To facilitate this ancient tree for the ecological value and conservation of this ancient tree, we report a new high-quality genome assembly of <i>P. strobilacea</i>. The genome size was 677.30 Mb, with a scaffold N50 size of 45,791,698 bp, and 98.43% of the assembly was anchored to 16 chromosomes. We annotated 32,246 protein-coding genes in the genome, of which 96.30% were functionally annotated in six databases.
