&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Phoenix dactylifera&lt;/i&gt; L. est une culture fruiti&#232;re d'importance &#233;conomique, nutritionnelle et culturelle majeure dans les r&#233;gions arides et semi-arides du Moyen-Orient et de l'Afrique du Nord. Nous pr&#233;sentons ici un g&#233;nome de r&#233;f&#233;rence de la vari&#233;t&#233; Ajwa, assembl&#233; sans lacune et de t&#233;lom&#232;re &#224; t&#233;lom&#232;re, ainsi que 19 assemblages g&#233;nomiques suppl&#233;mentaires de haute qualit&#233; (18 femelles et 1 m&#226;le). Ces assemblages r&#233;v&#232;lent des structures chromosomiques in&#233;dites, valid&#233;es par des approches de cytog&#233;n&#233;tique, Hi-C, cartographie optique et analyses de synt&#233;nie avec d'autres g&#233;nomes de palmiers. La nomenclature des chromosomes a &#233;t&#233; r&#233;vis&#233;e sur la base de leurs longueurs moyennes calcul&#233;es &#224; partir de l'ensemble des g&#233;nomes s&#233;quenc&#233;s. La r&#233;gion de d&#233;termination du sexe (Sex Determination Region, SDR), localis&#233;e sur le chromosome 14, a &#233;t&#233; confirm&#233;e par une analyse de k-mers sp&#233;cifiques du sexe m&#226;le et s'&#233;tend sur environ 14,7 Mb. Les r&#233;gions organisatrices du nucl&#233;ole (NOR) ont &#233;t&#233; localis&#233;es sur le chromosome 10, o&#249; un vaste locus d'ADNr 45S pr&#233;sente des motifs d'espaceurs r&#233;p&#233;titifs singuliers contenant des s&#233;quences de type transposon. Dans certaines accessions, une seconde NOR a &#233;t&#233; identifi&#233;e sur le chromosome sexuel femelle. Cet ensemble d'assemblages g&#233;nomiques du palmier dattier, structur&#233; autour du g&#233;nome de r&#233;f&#233;rence Ajwa, constitue une ressource essentielle pour le d&#233;veloppement de strat&#233;gies d'am&#233;lioration vari&#233;tale visant &#224; renforcer la r&#233;silience g&#233;n&#233;tique et la productivit&#233; du palmier dattier.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&#034;spip-puce ltr&#034;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&#8211;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Abstract&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Phoenix dactylifera&lt;/i&gt; L. is an economically, nutritionally, and culturally important fruit crop in the arid and semi-arid regions of the Middle East and North Africa. Here, we present a gap-free, telomere-to-telomere reference genome of the variety Ajwa, along with 19 additional high-quality assemblies (18 female and 1 male). These assemblies reveal novel chromosomal structures validated through cytogenetics, Hi-C, optical mapping, and synteny analyses with other palm genomes. Chromosome names were revised based on average lengths across all sequenced genomes. The Sex Determination Region (SDR) on chromosome 14 was confirmed through male-specific k-mer analysis, spanning approximately 14.7 Mb. Nucleolar organizing regions (NORs) were localized on chromosome 10, where a large 45S rDNA locus displayed unique repeat spacer motifs containing transposon-like sequences. In some accessions, a second NOR was identified on the female sex chromosome. This collection of date palm assemblies, anchored by the Ajwa reference genome, provides a critical resource for advancing breeding strategies aimed at enhancing the genetic resilience and productivity of date palm.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&#034;spip-puce ltr&#034;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&#8211;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Work carried out within the framework of the &lt;a href='https://vbat.org/rubrique169.html'&gt;al-&#703;Ul&#257; DPA project&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
