High-quality chromosome-level genome of Ajuga decumbens

Ajuga decumbens, a member of the Lamiaceae family within the genus Ajuga, is a traditional medicinal plant. In this study, we constructed a chromosome-level reference genome for Ajuga decumbens. The genome size is approximately 1.1 GB, comprising 16 chromosomes. The repetitive content of the genome accounts for 76.1%. This research provides a chromosomal-level reference genome, reference genes, and divergence time for Ajuga decumbens, offering valuable resources for medicinal gene research and molecular breeding within the Ajuga genus.
