Zanthoxylum bungeanum cultivar:Dahongpao Genome sequencing. Zanthoxylum bungeanum cultivar:Dahongpao

Zanthoxylum bungeanum is an important spice and medicinal plant, which create a characteristic aroma and tingling sensation in the mouth. Owing to the high proportion of repetitive sequences, high heterozygosity, and increased chromosome number of Z. bungeanum, the assembly of its chromosomal pseudomolecules is extremely challenging. Here, we present a genome sequence for Z. bungeanum, with a dramatically expanded size of 4.0 Gb, assembled into 68 chromosomes.
