Chromosome-level reference genome assembly for the protected resource plant, Zenia insignis

Zenia insignis Chun, from Dialioideae subfamily of Fabaceae, is a tree species of significant economic and ecological values. It is a threatened species as per the IUCN Red List. The absence of a reference genome has impeded research on Z. insignis despite its importance. In this study, we generated a reference genome for Z. insignis.
