Pomegranate has a unique evolutionary history given that different cultivars have eight or nine bivalent chromosomes with possible crossability between the two classes. Therefore, it is important to study the chromosome evolution in pomegranate to understand the dynamics of its population. Here, we de-novo assembled the Azerbaijanian cultivar “Azerbaijan guloyshasi“ (AG2017; 2n=16) and re-sequenced six cultivars to track the evolution of pomegranate, and to compare it with previously published de-novo assembled and re-sequenced cultivars. High synteny was observed between AG2017, Bhagawa (2n=16) and Tunisia (2n=16) to Dabenzi (2n=18), but these four cultivars were diverged from the cultivar Taishanhong (2n=18) with several rearrangements indicating the presence of two major chromosome evolution events. Major presence/absence variations were not observed as >99% of the five genomes aligned across the cultivars, while >99% of the pan-genic content was represented by Tunisia and
