Vatica mangachapoi is a tropical tree species native to Southeast Asia. It has long been valued as a timber species because the wood resists decay, but it is now considered vulnerable to extinction due to habitat loss and overexploitation. Here, we present the first chromosome-level genome assembly of V. mangachapoi that we created by combining data from PacBio long read sequencing with Hi-C proximity ligation and Illumina short-read sequencing. The assembled genome was 456.21 Mb, containing 11 chromosome and a BUSCO score of 93.4%. From the newly assembled genome, 46,811 protein-coding genes were predicted. Repetitive DNA accounted for 53% of the genome. Phylogenomic and gene family analyses showed that V. mangachapoi diverged from a common ancestor of Gossypium raimondii 70 million years ago. Transcriptome analyses found 227 genes that were differentially expressed in the leaves of plants grown in normal soil relative to plants grown in dry, coastal, sandy soil. For these genes, we identified three significantly enriched with GO terms: responses to organonitrogen compounds, chitin-triggered immunity, and wound response. This genome provides an important comparative benchmark not only for future conservation work on V. mangachapoi but also for phylogenomics work on Dipterocarpaceae.
