Assembly of an ancient peach genome reveals the mechanism of blood flesh formation and forward shift in fruit maturity date

<strong>Peach (</strong><em><strong>Prunus persica</strong></em><strong>) landraces have typical regional characteristics, strong environmental adaptability and contain many valuable genes that provide the foundation for breeding excellent varieties. Therefore, it is necessary to assemble the genomes of specific landraces to facilitate the localization and utilization of these genes. </strong>
