High-quality chromosome-level genomic insights into molecular adaptation to low-temperature stress in Madhuca longifolia in southern subtropical China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Madhuca longifolia, the energy-producing and medicinal tropical tree originally from southern India, faces difficulties in adapting to the low temperatures of late autumn and early winter in subtropical southern China, impacting its usability. Therefore, understanding the molecular mechanisms controlling the ability of this species to adapt to environmental challenges is essential for optimising horticulture efforts. Accordingly, this study aimed to elucidate the molecular responses of M. longifolia to low-temperature stress through genomic and transcriptomic analyses to inform strategies for its effective cultivation and utilisation in colder climates.

Results

Herein, the high-quality reference genome and genomic assembly for M. longifolia are presented for the f
