TL;DR
This paper presents the genome sequence of the common box plant, Buxus sempervirens, providing a detailed genetic map of the species.
Contribution
The study provides the first high-quality genome assembly for Buxus sempervirens, including chromosomal pseudomolecules and organelle sequences.
Findings
The genome assembly is 676.70 megabases long, with 99.56% scaffolded into 14 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
The plastid genome is 150.93 kilobases in length, and 8 mitochondrial sequences were assembled.
The study contributes a foundational genetic resource for Buxus sempervirens research.
Abstract
We present a genome assembly from an individual Buxus sempervirens (common box; Streptophyta; Magnoliopsida; Buxales; Buxaceae). The genome sequence has a total length of 676.70 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.56%) is scaffolded into 14 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The plastid genome assembly is 150.93 kilobases in length, and 8 mitochondrial sequences were also assembled.
