High-quality <i>Lindera megaphylla</i> genome analysis provides insights into genome evolution and allows for the exploration of genes involved in terpenoid biosynthesis.

ABSTRACT: Lindera megaphylla, a Lauraceae species, is valued for timber, horticulture, landscape architecture, and traditional medicine. Here, a high-quality genome of L. megaphylla was obtained at the chromosome level. A total of 96.77% of genomic sequences were mapped onto 12 chromosomes, with a total length of 1309.2 megabase (Mb) and an N50 scaffold of 107.75 Mb. Approximately, 75.91% of genome consists of repetitive sequences and 7004 ncRNAs were predicted. We identified 29 482 genes, and 28 657 genes were annotated. Gene family analysis showed expanded gene families were mainly involved in energy metabolism and cellular growth, while contracted ones were associated with carbohydrate metabolism and signal transduction. Our analysis revealed that L. megaphylla has undergone
