The tea geometrid is a destructive insect pest on tea plants, which seriously endangers tea production in terms of both yield and quality and causes severe economic losses. The tea geometrid also provides an important study system to address the ecological adaptive mechanisms underlying its unique host plant adaptation and protective resemblance. In this study, we sequenced and de novo assemble the reference genome of the tea geometrid, Ectropis grisescens, fully using long sequencing reads. We presented a highly continuous, near-complete genome reference (787...
