# The genome sequence of field madder, Sherardia arvensis L., 1753 (Rubiaceae)

## TL;DR

This paper reports the genome sequence of field madder, a plant in the Rubiaceae family, including its chromosomal and organelle genomes.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the first genome assembly of Sherardia arvensis, including chromosomal pseudomolecules and organelle genomes.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 440.9 megabases and is scaffolded into 11 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 203.98 kilobases and the plastid genome is 152.73 kilobases in length.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual
Sherardia arvensis (field madder; Tracheophyta; Magnoliopsida; Gentianales; Rubiaceae). The genome sequence is 440.9 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 11 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial and plastid genome assemblies have lengths of 203.98 kilobases and 152.73 kilobases in length, respectively.
