Abstract
Black pepper (Piper nigrum) belongs to the long-isolated lineage of basal angiosperm and its fruit has been used for food spice and phytomedicines for thousands of years. Here, the authors assemble the reference genome of this species and analyze gene families associated with piperine biosynthesis.
