Abstract excerpt
Atractylodes lancea rhizomes are used as crude drugs. Essential oil compounds, including atractylodin, hinesol, β-eudesmol, and atractylon, are key determinants of crude drug quality. Conventional breeding of A. lancea is difficult because of its perennial growth. In this study, a chromosome-scale reference genome of A. lancea (4.79 Gb) was generated, and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and genomic...
