Article Synopsis
- Wild pomegranate is a medicinal plant with significant health benefits, but its genome has not been fully understood until this study, which provides the first comprehensive genomic assembly.
- The researchers assembled a genome of 279.0 Mb, predicting 49,178 genes with key functions related to metabolism and stress responses, and identified transcription factors and transposable elements.
- The study also included a comparative analysis of the wild pomegranate genome against cultivated varieties and other plant species, helping to uncover evolutionary relationships and gene functions, especially in terpenoid biosynthesis.
