Conclusion
The study assembled a chromosome-level genome of rosemary, demonstrating
a high level of genomic integrity in comparison to previously reported
genomes (Bornowski et al., 2020). Notably, S. rosmarinus differs
significantly from other Salvia species in both of plant
morphology and secondary metabolites. To investigate the genetic basis
for these differences, our study provides a genomic resource for
exploring the structural and genetic basis of monoterpene and
diterpenoid accumulation in S. rosmarinus , which will facilitate
the development of molecular breeding and quality improvement of this
species.
