## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Bottle Sedge plant, including its chromosomal and mitochondrial structures.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly for Carex rostrata, including chromosomal pseudomolecules and organelle genomes.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 382.30 megabases long, with 35 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- Four mitochondrial and one plastid genome scaffold were assembled, the latter being 220.95 kilobases long.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a specimen of
Carex rostrata (Bottle Sedge; Streptophyta; Magnoliopsida; Poales; Cyperaceae). The genome sequence has a total length of 382.30 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 35 chromosomal pseudomolecules. Four mitochondrial genome scaffolds were assembled, and the one plastid genome, with a length of 220.95 kilobases.
