Prunus salicina Lindl. Genome sequencing and assembly. Prunus salicina Lindl.

The diploid Chinese plum (Prunus salicina Lindl.), also known as Japanese plum, includes most of the fresh-consumed plum cultivars commercialized globally and represents one of the most abundant and variable groups among fruit tree species. The genome information and analytic history of domestication remain to be explored. Here, we present the chromosome-scale P. salicina genome assembly, constructed by an integrated strategy combining Illumina, Oxford Nanopore, and high-throughput chromosome conformation capture sequencing (Hi-C). The high-quality genome assembly was consisted of a 318.6 Mb sequence (contig N50 length = 2.3 Mb) with eight pseudomolecules.
