Abstract:

The apple cultivar ‘Honeycrisp’ has superior fruit quality traits, cold hardiness, and disease resistance, making it a popular breeding parent. However, it suffers from several physiological disorders, production, and postharvest issues. Despite several available apple genome sequences, understanding of the genetic mechanisms underlying cultivar-specific traits remains lacking. Here, we present a highly contiguous, fully phased, chromosome-level genome of ‘Honeycrisp’ apples, using PacBio HiFi, Omni-C, and Illumina sequencing platforms, with two assembled haplomes of 674 Mbp and 660 Mbp, and contig N50 values of 32.8 Mbp and 31.6 Mbp, respectively. Overall, 47,563 and 48,655 protein-coding genes were annotated from each haplome, capturing 96.8–97.4% complete BUSCOs in the eudicot database. Gene family analysis reveals most ‘Honeycrisp’ genes are assigned into orthogroups shared with other genomes, with 121 ‘Honeycrisp’-specific orthogroups. This resource is valuable for understanding the genetic basis of important traits in apples and related Rosaceae species to enhance breeding efforts.

Homology

Homology of the Malus x domestica Honeycrisp Genome v1.0 proteins was determined by pairwise sequence comparison using the blastp algorithm against various protein databases. An expectation value cutoff less than 1e-9 was used for the NCBI nr (Release 2021-09) and 1e-6  for the Arabidoposis proteins (Araport11), UniProtKB/SwissProt (Release 2021-09), and UniProtKB/TrEMBL (Release 2021-09) databases. The best hit reports are available for download in Excel format.
