Rhododendron molle isolate:GLZ1001 Genome sequencing and assembly. Rhododendron molle isolate:GLZ1001

Rhododendron molle is a famous traditional Chinese medicinal plant,and has been used to treat rheumatism and relieve pain since ancient times.This plant has a rich source of secondary metabolites, especially terpenoid,which have important medicinal value.However, the research of biosynthesis of these metabolites is hindered partly due to lack of genomic information.Our study will be useful for elucidating the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites and provide insight into the evolution of R.molle
