The opium poppy genome contributes to deciphering early evolutionary history of eudicots and to improving the medicinal poppy A. The high quality genome sequences of opium poppy were assembled to construct 11 pseudo-chromosomes. B. As a basal eudicot, opium poppy is a great reference for exploring early evolutionary history of eudicots and beyond. C. Genomic data of opium poppy provide insights into the evolutionary origin of morphinan pathway. WGD, whole-genome duplication; BIA, benzylisoquinoline alkaloid; STORR, (S)- to (R)-reticuline.
