Show abstract
Irises are perennial plants, representing a large genus with hundreds of species. While cultivated extensively for their ornamental value, commercial interest in irises lies in the secondary metabolites present in their rhizomes. The Dalmatian Iris (Iris pallida Lam.) is an ornamental plant that also produces secondary metabolites with potential value to the fragrance and pharmaceutical industries. In addition to providing base notes for the fragrance industry, iris tissues and extracts possess anti-oxidant, anti- inflammatory, and immunomodulatory effects. However, study of these secondary metabolites has been hampered by a lack of genomic information, instead requiring difficult extraction and analysis techniques. Here, we report the genome sequence of Iris pallida Lam., generated with Pacific Bioscience long-read sequencing, resulting in a 10.04 Gbp assembly with a scaffold N50 of 14.34 Mbp and 91.8% complete BUSCOs. This reference genome will allow researchers to study the biosynthesis of these secondary metabolites in much greater detail, opening new avenues of investigation for drug discovery and fragrance formulations.
