Abstract: Indocalamus tessellatus, a broad-leaved bamboo species, holds significant economic and ecological value. However, the absence of a high-quality reference genome has constrained genetic and functional studies of this species. Here, we report a chromosome-scale genome assembly of I. tessellatus, constructed by integrating PacBio HiFi and Hi-C sequencing technologies. The final assembly is 2.89 Gb with a scaffold N50 of 117.66 Mb. BUSCO assessment against the poales_odb10 dataset revealed 99.0% completeness, indicating the high quality of the assembly. Additionally, a total of 41,765 protein-coding genes were predicted, offering a critical resource for functional annotation and comparative genomics. This reference genome establishes a foundation for studies on I. tessellatus biology, breeding, and conservation.
