Description
Fang Yang and co-authors report a 2025 genome study of two desert shrubs in the genus Haloxylon. The two species, Haloxylon ammodendron and Haloxylon persicum, guard dry land across Asia and shrug off drought and salt. Full genomes can show how such plants cope with harsh ground.
The team read both genomes with long-read methods and mapped them onto nine chromosomes each. The first genome spans 2.32 billion bases with about 69,844 genes, and the second spans 1.32 billion bases with about 66,859 genes. More than half of each genome is made of repeat parts. Both assemblies passed standard quality checks. The pair gives researchers a base for work on drought traits, land repair, and the worth of desert plants.
