Increasing the proportion of locally produced plant protein in currently meat-rich diets could substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions and loss biodiversity1. However, production is hampered by lack a cool-season legume equivalent to soybean agronomic value2. Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) has high yield potential well suited for cultivation temperate regions, but genomic resources are scarce. Here, we report high-quality chromosome-scale assembly genome show that it expanded massive 13 Gb...
Abstract Key message We identified marker-trait associations for key faba bean agronomic traits and genomic signatures of selection within a global germplasm collection. Faba ( Vicia L.) is high-protein grain legume crop with great potential sustainable protein production. However, little known about the genetics underlying trait diversity. In this study, we used 21,345 high-quality SNP markers to genetically characterize 2678 genotypes. performed genome-wide association studies using...
Legume-rhizobium signaling during establishment of symbiotic nitrogen fixation restricts rhizobium colonization to specific cells. A limited number root hair cells allow infection threads form, and only a fraction the epidermal progress cortical layers establish functional nodules. Here we use single-cell analysis define cell populations that respond facilitate infection. We then identify high-confidence nodulation gene candidates based on their expression in these populations, pinpointing...
During the last two decades, whole-genome sequencing has revolutionized genetic research in all kingdoms, including fungi. More than 1000 fungal genomes have been submitted to sequence databases, mostly obtained through second generation short-read DNA sequencing. As a result, highly fragmented genome drafts typically obtained. However, with emergence of third long-read sequencing, assembly challenge can be overcome and contiguous assemblies Such attractive results, however, are extremely...
ABSTRACT Faba bean ( Vicia faba L.) is an important pulse crop with a wide range of agroecological adaptations. The development genomic tools and comprehensive catalog extant genetic diversity are crucial for developing improved cultivars. lack cost‐effective genotyping platform limits the characterization large germplasm collections, understanding across populations, implementing breeder's like selection. Genotyping‐by‐sequencing (GBS) offers high‐resolution both model plant species, even...
Abstract The phylogenetic relationship of the Arthrinium genus has changed throughout years. For many years, included Apiospora as well. New evidence now showed that these two genera in fact are phylogenetically different and belong to clades. Here, we present first genome draft within genus. This was sequenced using MinION platform from Oxford Nanopore Technologies assembly contiguous. comprises ten contigs totaling 39.8 Mb with an N50 length 7.9. In assembly, 11,602 genes were predicted...
Abstract Allotetraploid white clover ( Trifolium repens ) formed during the last glaciation through hybridisation of two European diploid progenitors from restricted niches: one coastal, other alpine. Here, we examine which hybridisation‐derived molecular events may have underpinned clover's postglacial niche expansion. We compared transcriptomic frost responses clovers (an inbred line and an alpine‐adapted ecotype), extant descendants its progenitor species a resynthesised neopolyploid to...
Abstract Faba bean ( Vicia faba L.) is a high-protein grain legume crop with great potential for further cultivation. However, little known about the genetics underlying trait diversity. In this study, we use 21,345 high-quality SNP markers to genetically characterise 2,678 genotypes. We perform genome-wide association studies of key agronomic traits using Seven-parent-MAGIC population and detect 238 significant marker-trait associations linked 12 importance, 65 these being stable across...
