摘要

Alcea rosea, a member of the Malvaceae family, is celebrated for its rich floral palette and global horticultural significance. Here, we present a high-quality reference genome for A. rosea, achieving a genome assembly size of 1.01 Gbp, with a Contig N50 length of 36.61 Mbp. The genome sequence was successfully mapped to 21 chromosomes, and the scaffold N50 length reached 52.57 Mbp, with a scaffold genome completeness of 99.6%. A total of 565.84 Mbp (comprising 56% of the genome) of repetitive sequences were identified, with transposable elements being predominant, particularly long terminal repeat (LTR) elements, which accounted for 48.44% of the genome. 51,436 genes were annotated. Among these predicted genes, the average gene length and coding sequence (CDS) length were 2739.92 bp and 1242.54 bp, respectively.
