Peppermint, Mentha xpiperita L., is a hexaploid (2n = 6x = 72) and the predominant cultivar of commercial mint oil production in the US. This cultivar is threatened because of high susceptibility to the fungal disease Verticillium wilt, caused by Verticillium dahliae. This report details the first draft polyploid chromosome-level genome assembly for this mint species. The Black Mitcham genome resource will broaden comparative studies of disease resistance, essential oil biosynthesis, and hybridization events within the genus Mentha. It will also be a valuable contribution to the body of phylogenetic studies involving Mentha and other genera that contain species with varying ploidy levels.
