Abstract Malus hybrid ‘Flame’ and Malus hybrid ‘Royalty’ are representative ornamental crabapples, rich in flavonoids and serving as the preferred materials for studying the coloration mechanism. We generated two sets of high-quality chromosome-level and haplotype-resolved genome of ‘Flame’ with sizes of 688.2 Mb and 675.7 Mb, and those of ‘Royalty’ with sizes of 674.1 Mb and 663.6 Mb, all anchored to 17 chromosomes and with a high BUSCO completeness score nearly 99.0%. A total of 47,833 and 47,307 protein-coding genes were annotated in the two haplotype genomes of ‘Flame’, and the numbers of ‘Royalty’ were 46,305 and 46,920 individually. The assembled high-quality genomes offer new resources for studying the origin and adaptive evolution of crabapples and the molecular basis of the accumulation of flavonoids and anthocyanins, facilitating molecular breeding of Malus plants.
