Raw sequencing data for Physalis grisea and Physalis pruinosa genome assemblies

We present chromosome-scale references for P. grisea and its close relative P. pruinosa and use these resources to study natural and engineered variation in floral traits. We first rapidly identified a natural structural variant in a bHLH gene that causes petal color variation. In a forward genetics screen, we identified huskless, which lacks ICS due to mutation of an AP2-like gene that causes sepals and petals to merge into a single whorl of mixed identity. Included here are sequencing reads used in the assembly of the genomes, and mapping of the natural and induced mutations.
