Chromosome-level genome of Thymus mandschuricus reveals molecular mechanism of aroma compounds biosynthesis

BackgroundThymus mandschuricus is an aromatic and medicinal plant with notable antibacterial and antioxidant properties. However, traditional breeding methods rely on phenotypic selection due to a lack of molecular resources. A high-quality reference genome is crucial for marker-assisted breeding, g...
