Chromosomal-level genome and multi-omics dataset of Pueraria lobata var. thomsonii provide new insights into legume family and the isoflavone and puerarin biosynthesis pathways.

ABSTRACT: Pueraria lobata var. thomsonii (hereinafter abbreviated as Podalirius thomsonii), a member of legumes, is one of the important traditional Chinese herbal medicines, and its puerarin extraction is widely used in health and pharmaceutical industry. Here, we assembled a high-quality genome of P. thomsonii using long-read single-molecule sequencing and Hi-C technologies. The genome assembly is approximately 1.37 Gb in size and consists of 5145 contigs with a contig N50 of 593.70 Kb, further clustered into 11 pseudochromosomes. The genome structural annotation resulted in about 869.33 Mb (about 62.70% of the genome) repeat regions and 45 270 protein-coding genes. Genome evolution analysis revealed that P. thomsonii is most closely related to soybean and underwent two ancient whole-genome duplic
