Article Synopsis
- - This study presents the first comprehensive genome assembly of a significant plant in traditional Chinese medicine, revealing its edible and medicinal traits while addressing the lack of genomic resources.
- - The genome assembly is high-quality at 679.20 Mb, anchored to 8 pseudo-chromosomes with a 96.5% anchoring rate and demonstrates high completeness at 97.6%, indicating a well-structured genomic framework.
- - The research highlights the evolutionary history of the plant, including its polyploidization and gene family expansions, providing critical insights for conservation and sustainable utilization of the species.
Lamiales, comprising over 23,755 species across 24 families, stands as a highly diverse and prolific plant group, playing a significant role in the cultivation of horticultural, ornamental, and medicinal plant varieties. Whole-genome duplication (WGD) and its subsequent post-polyploid diploidization (PPD) process represent the most drastic type of karyotype evolution, injecting significant potential for promoting the diversity of this lineage. However, polyploidization histories, as well as genome and subgenome fractionation following WGD events in Lamiales species, are still not well investigated.

Thus, the Muscovy duck may serve as an excellent candidate animal model of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. However, the mechanisms underlying fatty liver development in this species are poorly understood.
