Construction and analysis of telomere-to-telomere genomes for 2 sweet oranges: Longhuihong and Newhall (Citrus sinensis).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sweet orange (Citrus sinensis Osbeck) is a fruit crop of high nutritional value that is widely consumed around the world. However, its susceptibility to low-temperature stress limits its cultivation and production in regions prone to frost damage, severely impacting the sustainable development of the sweet orange industry. Therefore, developing cold-resistant sweet orange varieties is of great necessity. Traditional hybrid breeding methods are not feasible due to the polyembryonic phenomenon in sweet oranges, necessitating the enhancement of its germplasm through molecular breeding. High-quality reference genomes are valuable for studying crop resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. However, the lack of genomic resources for cold-resistant sweet orange varieties has h
