Aegilops peregrina is a wild allotetraploid wheat wild relative and an important source of genetic diversity for stress tolerance and agronomic traits. Here, we report a subgenome-resolved, chromosome-scale reference genome assembly of a drought tolerant and stem rust resistant Ae. peregrina accession PI 604178 generated using PacBio HiFi and Hi-C sequencing. The 10.13 Gb assembly contains 98.81% of sequence anchored to 14 pseudomolecules representing the seven S and seven U chromosomes, with contig and scaffold N50 values of 25.84 and 746.48 Mb, respectively. The assembly achieved a consensus quality value of 74.61, 97.83% k-mers completeness, and 99.9% BUSCO completeness. LTR Assembly Index values of 20.43 and 18.79 for the S and U subgenomes, respectively, further supported high continuity across repeat-rich regions. Repetitive elements comprise 85.93% of chromosome-anchored assembly. We annotated 59,910 high-confidence protein-coding genes, with comparable gene representation across the two subgenomes. This reference genome provides a high-quality genomic framework for comparative analyses, characterization of important loci regulating agronomic and resilience related traits, and sequence-guided exploitation of Ae. peregrina allelic diversity for wheat improvement.
