Legumes represent an important component of human and livestock diets; they are rich in macro- micronutrients such as proteins, dietary fibers polyunsaturated fatty acids. Whilst several health-promoting anti-nutritional properties have been associated with grain content, in-depth metabolomics characterization major legume species remains elusive. In this article, we used both gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) liquid (LC-MS) to assess the metabolic diversity five commonly grown...
Grain legumes are important for sustainable agriculture due to their agronomic and nutritional properties. In this study, a rapid, high-throughput, non-destructive seed screening was performed on 835 lines of Phaseolus vulgaris , Lupinus albus L. mutabilis grown under sub-alpine climate. The were analysed size characteristics (thousand weight – TSW, width length) using MARVIN analyser protein moisture content near-infrared transmittance spectroscopy. results showed strong correlation between...
The higher adaptation of landraces to local agroclimatic conditions resulting from natural and moderate artificial selection by farmers within specific environments makes them a crucial source alleles genotypes for cultivation breeding programs. Unlike modern cultivars, which have been developed under more intense selective pressures, exhibit broader genetic base that has documented in landrace collections many crops. This review provides an overview the importance resource valorisation...
The Brachypodium genus represents a useful model system to study grass genome organization. Palaeogenomic analyses (e.g. Murat F, Armero A, Pont C, Klopp Salse J. 2017. Reconstructing the of most recent common ancestor flowering plants. Nature Genetics49: 490-496) have identified polyploidization and dysploidy as prime mechanisms driving diversity plant karyotypes nested chromosome fusions (NCFs) crucial for shaping chromosomes. This compares karyotype structure evolution in B. distachyon...
Brachypodium distachyon (Brachypodium) is a non-domesticated model grass species that can be used to test if variation in genetic sequence or methylation are linked environmental differences. To assess this, we collected seeds from 12 sites within five climatically distinct regions of Turkey. Seeds each region were grown under standardized growth conditions the UK preserve methylated variation. At six weeks following germination, leaves sampled and assessed for genomic DNA In follow-up...
Insight into plant genomes at the cytomolecular level provides useful information about their karyotype structure, enabling inferences taxonomic relationships and evolutionary origins. The Old World lupins (OWL) demonstrate a high of genomic diversification involving variation in chromosome numbers (2n = 32-52), basic (x 5-7, 9, 13) nuclear genome size (2C DNA 0.97-2.68 pg). Lupins comprise both crop wild species provide an intriguing system to study evolution. In order investigate lupin...
Narrow-leafed lupin (Lupinus angustifolius L.) has recently been considered a reference genome for the Lupinus genus. In present work, genetic and cytogenetic maps of L. were supplemented with 30 new molecular markers representing regions, harboring genes involved in nitrogen fixation during symbiotic interaction legumes soil bacteria (Rhizobiaceae). Our studies resulted precise localization bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs) carrying sequence variants early nodulin 40, 26, 45,...
Here we present the approach used to develop INCREASE "Intelligent Chickpea" Collections, from analysis of information on life history and population structure chickpea germplasm, availability genomic genetic resources, identification key phenotypic traits methodologies characterize chickpea. We two protocols within H2O20 Project characterize, develop, maintain single-seed-descent (SSD) line collections. Such related resource data project will be available for legume community apply...
Abstract Well‐characterized genetic resources are fundamental to maintain and provide the various genotypes for pre‐breeding programs production of new cultivars (e.g., wild relatives, unimproved material, landraces). The aim current article is protocols characterization two lupin crop species: European Lupinus albus American mutabilis . Intelligent nested collections lupins derived from homozygous lines (single‐seed descent) being developed, established, exploited using cutting‐edge...
Abstract Lupin crops provide nutritious seeds as an excellent source of dietary protein. However, extensive genomic resources are needed for the adaptation lupin crops, particularly to improve their nutritional value and facilitate harsh environments caused by changing climate. Such can be derived from crop wild relatives, which represent a large untapped genetic variation improvement. Here we describe first whole-genome sequences cross-compatible species Lupinus cosentinii (Mediterranean)...
Lupinus albus is a food grain legume recognized for its high levels of seed protein (30[ndash]40%) and oil (6[ndash]13%), adaptability to different climatic soil conditions. To develop the next generation L. cultivars, we need access well-characterized, genetically phenotypically diverse germplasm. Here evaluated more than 2000 accessions with passport data based on 35 agro-morphological traits Intelligent CORE Collections. The reference (R-CORE), representing global diversity, exemplified...
Old World lupins constitute an interesting model for evolutionary research due to diversity in genome size and chromosome number, indicating reorganization. It has been hypothesized that the polyploidization event which occurred common ancestor of Fabaceae family was followed by a lineage-specific whole triplication (WGT) lupin clade, driving rearrangements. In this study, chromosome-specific markers were used as probes heterologous fluorescence situ hybridization (FISH) identify...
Plant genome evolution can be very complex and challenging to describe, even within a genus. Mechanisms that underlie variation are include whole-genome duplications, gene duplication and/or loss, and, importantly, multiple chromosomal rearrangements. Lupins (Lupinus) diverged from other legumes approximately 60 mya. In contrast New World lupins, Old lupins show high variability not only for chromosome numbers (2n = 32–52), but also the basic number (x 5–9, 13) size. The evolutionary basis...
Paleogenomics focuses on the recovery, manipulation, and analysis of ancient DNA (aDNA) from historical or long-dead organisms to reconstruct analyze their genomes. The aDNA is commonly obtained remains found in paleontological archaeological sites, conserved museums other archival collections. Herbarium collections represent a great source phenotypic genotypic information, exploitation allowed infer clarify previously unsolved taxonomic systematic relationships. Moreover, specimens offered...
Deciphering the various chemical modifications of both DNA and histone compound chromatin not only leads to a better understanding genome-wide organisation epigenetic landmarks their impact on gene expression but may also provide some insights into evolutionary processes. Although methylation have been widely investigated in plant genomes, here we present first study for genus Lupinus. Lupins, which are members grain legumes (pulses), beneficial food security, nutrition, health environment....
