Chromosome-scale haplotype genome assemblies for the Australian mango 'Kensington Pride' 1 and a wild relative, Mangifera laurina, provide insights into anthracnose-resistance and volatile 2 compound biosynthesis genes

Upendra Kumari Wijesundara, Agnelo Furtado, Ardashir Kharabian Masouleh, Natalie Dillon, Heather Eunice Smyth, Robert James Henry

The paper reports chromosome-scale genome assemblies for mango cultivars Kensington Pride and M. laurina, identifying structural variations and genes related to anthracnose resistance and volatile compound biosynthesis.
