Drought Resistant Plant Genome Sequencing
Calligonum mongolicum Turcz. (Polygonaceae) is a dominant xerophytic shrub distributed across the deserts of northwestern China and Central Asia. It is one of the key sand-fixing pioneer species that play essential ecological roles in stabilizing dunes and preventing desertification in arid regions.This high-quality T2T genome provides a valuable resource for exploring the molecular basis of drought tolerance and environmental adaptation in desert plants and will facilitate future research on the evolution and conservation of Polygonaceae species.
