Genome of Mimosa pudica
<i>Mimosa</i> is a typical genus that presents both slow (nyctinastic) and rapid (seismonastic) movements. The movement is driven by the motor organ, pulvinus, where asymmetric volume changes across different motor cells are regulated by various ion channels. However, the evolutionary footprints underlying this adaptation remain to be further elucidated. To better understand this species, we generated a high-quality genome assembly of <i>Mimosa pudica</i>, achieving a BUSCO completeness score of 98.7% based on the embryophyta dataset. The draft <i>M. pudica</i> genome comprised 2,868 scaffolds totaling 803 Mb. For transcriptome support and gene annotation, RNA was extracted from various tissues, including root tip, leaflet, shoot apex, inflorescence bud, pulvinus, cotyledonary petiole, and whole seedling.
