ABSTRACT
KEY MESSAGE This study presents an improved genome of Raphanus sativus cv. WK10039 uncovering centromeres and differentially methylated regions of radish chromosomes. Comprehensive genome comparison of radish and diploid Brassica species of U's triangle reveals that R. sativus arose from the Brassica B genome lineage and is a sibling species of B. nigra. Radish (Raphanus sativus L.) is a key root vegetable crop closely related to the Brassica crop species of the family Brassicaceae. We reported a draft genome of R. sativus cv. WK10039 (Rs1.0), which had 54.6 Mb gaps. To study the radish genome and explore previously unknown regions, we generated an improved genome assembly (Rs2.0) by long-read sequencing and high-resolution genome-wide mapping of chromatin interactions. Rs2.0 was 434.9 Mb in size with 0.27 Mb gaps, and the N50 scaffold length was 37.3 Mb (40-fold larger assembly compared to Rs1.0). Approximately 38% of Rs2.0 was comprised of repetitive sequences, and 52,768 protein-coding genes and 4845 non-protein-coding genes were predicted and annotated. The improved contiguity and coverage of Rs2.0, along with the detection of highly methylated regions, enabled localization of centromeres where R. sativus-specific centromere-associated repeats, full-length OTA and CRM LTR-Gypsy retrotransposons, hAT-Ac, CMC-EnSpm and Helitron DNA transposons, and sequences highly homologous to B. nigra centromere-specific CENH3-associated CL sequences were enriched. Whole-genome bisulfite sequencing combined with mRNA sequencing identified differential epigenetic marks in the radish genome related to tissue development. Synteny comparison and genomic distance analysis of radish and three diploid Brassica species of U's triangle suggested that the radish genome arose from the Brassica B genome lineage through unique rearrangement of the triplicated ancestral Brassica genome after splitting of the Brassica A/C and B genomes.
