Query: The Chromosome-level Genome of Dracaena cochinchinesis Provides Insights into its Biological Features and the Mechanism of Dragon's Blood Formation Dracaena, a remarkably long-lived and slowly maturing species, is famous all over the world for the production of dragons blood, a precious traditional medicine used by different cultures since ancient times. However, lacking a high-quality genome,the molecular mechanisms underlying these traits are largely unknown and that greatly restricts the protection and regeneration of the rare and endangered plant resources. Here, we sequenced and assembled a chromosome-level genome of the Dracaena cochinchinensis, the first to be sequenced of Dracaena Vand. ex L. The D. cochinchinensis genome covering 1.21 Gb with a scaffold N50 of 50.06 Mb, and encodes 31,619 predicted protein-coding genes. We found D. cochinchinensis has undergone two whole genome duplications (WGDs) and two long terminal repeats (LTRs) insertion burst events. The expansion of cis-zeatin O-glucosyltransferase (cZOGT) and small auxin up-regulated RNA (SAUR) genes is account for its longevity and slow growth. In flavonoids biosynthesis pathway, transcription factors bHLH and MYB were predicted as the core regulators, and ROS as the specific signal molecule during the process of injury-induced dragons blood formation. Our study not only provides high-quality genomic knowledge of D. cochinchinensis, but also deciphered the mystery of its longevity, and preliminarily elucidated the molecular mechanism of dragons blood formation, which will facilitate the resource protection and sustainable utilization of Dracaena.

SHORT SUMMARYThis study reports a chromosome-level genome assembly for D. cochinchinensis, the first genome of Dracaena Vand. ex L. It 29 provides valuable genetic resources and creates a large scope for studying Dracaena. We found the significant expansion of genes associated with its longevity and slow growth, and genes in flavonoids biosynthesis were first completely identified. Moreover, transcription factors bHLH and MYB as the core regulator of flavonoids biosynthesis, and ROS as the specific signal molecule during the process of injury-induced dragons blood formation were also identified. These results not only deciphered the mystery of its longevity, but also elucidated the molecular mechanism of dragon[s blood formation preliminarily, which will facilitate the resource protection and sustainable utilization of Dracaena.
