The Hass avocado (Persea americana var. Hass) is the world's dominant commercial avocado variety, renowned for its rich flavor, creamy texture, and high oil content. Originating from California in the 1920s, it produces pebbled, dark-skinned fruit with excellent post-harvest quality. This reference genome assembly supports advanced genomic research into key traits including fruit quality, oil production, and environmental adaptation. |
