Yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis) genome provides new insights into convergent evolution of caffeine biosynthesis

Yerba mate (YM, Ilex paraguariensis) is an economically important crop marketed for the elaboration of mate, the third-most widely consumed caffeine-containing infusion worldwide. Here, we report the first genome assembly of this species, which has a total length of 1.06 Gb and contains 53,390 prote...
