Abstract excerpt
Hawthorn (Crataegus pinnatifida) fruit peel color and seed hardness are key traits that significantly impact economic value. We present here the high-quality chromosome-scale genomes of two cultivars, including the hard-seed, yellow-peel C. pinnatifida "Jinruyi" (JRY) and the soft-seed, red-peel C. pinnatifida "Ruanzi" (RZ). The assembled genomes comprising 17 chromosomes are 809.1 Mb and 760.5 Mb in size,...
