The telomere‐to‐telomere gap‐free reference genome and DNA methylome unveil epigenetic regulation of proanthocyanidin biosynthesis during apricot fruit development

SUMMARY Apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) is an economically significant fruit crop worldwide with remarkable germplasm diversity, and its fruit quality is primarily determined by key metabolites (e.g., sugars, organic acids, and flavonoids). However, current apricot genome assemblies remain incomplete, with substantial un...
