We assembled a chromosome-level genome of Chinese native 'Wanfeng' almond, with a size of 288.53 Mb and a contig N50 of 30.48 Mb. Approximately 270 Mb (93.58%) of the sequences are anchored on 8 Superscaffolds, and 174.59 Mb (60.51%) of the sequences are repetitive sequences. BUSCO assessment revealed that the 'Wanfeng' almond genome assembly included 99.3% complete BUSCOs. A total of 24,230 protein-coding genes were annotated, and 24,033 were functional. The assembly of the 'Wanfeng' almond genome provides a valuable genetic resource for molecular breeding of native almonds in China.

Article Synopsis
  • ABC transporter proteins are a large and diverse group found in various organisms, playing key roles in processes like plant development and stress resistance.
  • In this study, researchers identified 117 ABC genes in almond (Prunus dulcis) and categorized them into eight subfamilies based on their protein characteristics.
  • The expression of these genes varied notably during almond development and in response to freezing and salt stress, suggesting their potential importance in breeding and improving almond resilience.

The gene family is an important family of transcription factors involved in multiple processes, such as plant growth and development, stress, and in particular, flowering time and floral organ development. Almonds are the best-selling nuts in the international fruit trade, accounting for more than 50% of the world's dried fruit trade, and one of the main economic fruit trees in Kashgar, Xinjiang. In addition, almonds contain a variety of nutrients, such as protein and dietary fiber, which can supplement nutrients for people.

The AP2/ERF transcription factor family is one of the largest transcription factor families in plants and plays an important role in regulating plant growth and development and the response to biotic and abiotic stresses. However, there is no report on the AP2/ERF gene family in almond (). In this study, a total of 136 genes were identified from the almond genome, and their protein physicochemical properties were analyzed.

The self-incompatibility recognition mechanism determines whether the gametophyte is successfully fertilized between pollen tube SCF (SKP1-CUL1-F-box-RBX1) protein and pistil S-RNase protein during fertilization is unclear. In this study, the pistils of two almond cultivars 'Wanfeng' and 'Nonpareil' were used as the experimental materials after self- and nonself/cross-pollination, and pistils from the stamen-removed flowers were used as controls. We used fluorescence microscopy to observe the development of pollen tubes after pollination and 4D-LFQ to detect the protein expression profiles of 'Wanfeng' and 'Nonpareil' pistils and in controls.
