摘要: The Malvaceae family, the most diverse family in the order Malvales, consists of nine subfamilies. Within the Firmiana genus of the Sterculioideae subfamily, most species are considered globally vulnerable, yet their genomes remain unexplored. Here, we present a chromosome-level genome assembly for a representative Firmiana species, F. hainanensis, 2n 1/4 40, totaling 1536 Mb. Phylogenomic analysis shows that F. hainanensis and Durio zibethinus have the closest evolutionary relationship, with an estimated divergence time of approximately 21 millions of years ago (MYA) and distinct polyploidization events in their histories. Evolutionary trajectory analyses indicate that fissions and fusions may play a crucial role in chromosome number variation (2n 1/4 14 to 2n 1/4 96). Analysis of repetitive elements among Malvaceae reveals that the Tekay subfamily (belonging to the Gypsy group) contributes to variation in genome size (ranging from 324 Mb to 1620 Mb). Additionally, genes associated with P450, peroxidase, and microtubules, and thereby related to cell wall biosynthesis, are significantly contracted in F. hainanensis, potentially leading to its lower wood density relative to Hopea hainanensis. Overall, our study provides insights into the evolution of chromosome number, genome size, and the genetic basis of cell wall biosynthesis in Malvaceae species.
