Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual Salicornia ramosissima (purple glasswort; Tracheophyta; Magnoliopsida; Caryophyllales; Chenopodiaceae). The genome sequence is 529.1 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 9 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial and plastid genome assemblies have lengths of 328.55 kilobases and 153.3 kilobases in length, respectively.

Keywords: Caryophyllales; Salicornia ramosissima; chromosomal; genome sequence; purple glasswort.
