Aralia elata  is a perennial woody plant of the genus  Aralia  in the family Araliaceae. It is rich in saponins and therefore has a wide range of pharmacological effects. Here, we report a high-quality reference genome of  A. elata , with a genome size of 1.21 Gb and a contig N50 of 51.34 Mb, produced by PacBio HiFi sequencing technology. This is the first genome assembly for the genus  Aralia . Through genome evolutionary analysis, we explored the phylogeny and whole genome duplication (WGD) events in the  A. elata  genome. The results indicated that a recent WGD event occurred in the  A. elata  genome. Estimation of the divergence times indicated that the WGD may be shared by Araliaceae. By analyzing the genome sequence of  A. elata  and combining the transcriptome data from three tissues, we discovered important genes related to triterpene saponins biosynthesis. Furthermore, based on the embryonic callus induction system of  A. elata  established in our laboratory, we set up the genetic transformation system of this plant. The genomic resources and genetic transformation system obtained in this study provide insights into  A. elata  and lays the foundation for further exploration of the  A. elata  regulatory mechanism.
