Zhou8425B genome assembly and annotation

High-quality genome information is essential for efficiently deciphering and improving crop traits. Here we report a highly contiguous and accurate hexaploid genome assembly for the key wheat founder parent Zhou8425B, an elite 1BL/1RS translocation line with durable adult plant resistance (APR) against yellow rust (YR) disease. By integrating HiFi and Hi-C sequencing reads, a 14.75 Gb genome assembly, with contig N50 and scaffold N50 reaching 70.94 and 735.11 Mb, respectively, was developed for Zhou8425B. These files contain Zhou8425B genome assembly and annotation files.
