The Complete Genome Sequence of <i>Vachellia tortilis</i> subsp. <i>raddiana,</i> the Umbrella Thorn Acacia (Fabaceae, Fabales)

2026Open accessUniversité Ibn Zohr

Abstract

We present the first high-quality genome assembly of Vachellia tortilis subsp. raddiana (Savi) Brenan, a keystone tree species of the circum-Saharan region. Plant material used for genome sequencing was collected from Taidalt, a small town near Guelmim in southern Morocco. Using Illumina paired-end sequencing, a scaffold-level genome assembly was generated, providing a foundational genomic resource for this ecologically critical taxon.
