Abstract excerpt
Apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) is a major fruit crop with a rich genetic history shaped by whole-genome duplication, domestication, and selective breeding. Discovering apple genetic diversity through genome sequencing provides new opportunities to improve disease resistance, environmental adaptation, and fruit quality. Here, we present 19 haplotype-resolved genome assemblies of apple, sequenced using PacBio HiFi...
