Abstract
Open AccessWe present a genome assembly from an individual Acer campestre (the field maple; Tracheophyta; Magnoliopsida; Sapindales; Sapindaceae). The genome sequence is 565.1 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 14 chromosomal pseudomolecules, in comprising 13 large chromosomes and one smaller B chromosome.. The mitochondrial and plastid genome assemblies have lengths of 769.91 kilobases and 156.29 kilobases in length, respectively. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces reference genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland.
