| Description |
Melaleuca alternifolia is a commercially important medicinal tea tree native to Australia. Tea tree oil (TTO), the essential oil distilled from M. alternifolia, has broad-spectrum germicidal activity and is highly valued in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Terpinen-4-ol is the primary constituent of TTO. Deciphering the biochemical pathway underlying terpinen-4-ol biosynthesis is fundamental for TTO genetic improvement. However, little genomic information is available for M. alternifolia. Here, we assembled the first high-quality genome for M. alternifolia, which paves the way for studies of the genes involved in terpinen-4-ol biosynthesis and regulation, with the ultimate goal of improving the yield and quality of TTO through modern molecular breeding techniques. |
