Abstract
The Corpse Flower, or Titan Arum (Amorphophallus titanum) is a flowering plant in the family Araceae. endemic to a limited range in the rainforests of Sumatra, Indonesia. It is notable for two reasons: it produces the world's largest known unbranched flower, and it produces a strong odor of rotting meat to attract pollinators. We present the whole genome sequence of this species. A total of 335,712,220 paired-end Illumina reads consisting of 100.7G bases were obtained by Illumina sequencing the leaf tissue of a single individual. The reads were assembled by a de novo method followed by contig extension using related species as references. The raw and assembled data is publicly available via Genbank: Sequence Read Archive (SRR11565159) and genome assembly (GCA_024336825).
