## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Lesser Skullcap, a plant in the Lamiaceae family, with a detailed assembly of its chromosomes, mitochondria, and plastid.

## Contribution

The paper provides the first genome assembly for Scutellaria minor, including chromosomal pseudomolecules and organelle genomes.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 341.8 megabases and is scaffolded into 14 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 376.64 kilobases long, and the plastid genome is 152.59 kilobases long.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual
Scutellaria minor (Tracheophyta; Magnoliopsida; Lamiales; Lamiaceae). The genome sequence is 341.8 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 14 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial and plastid genome assemblies have lengths of 376.64 kilobases and 152.59 kilobases in length, respectively.
