Abstract Background Mungbean ( Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek, or green gram) is important tropical and sub-tropical legume a rich source of dietary protein micronutrients. In this study we employ GWAS to examine the genetic basis variation in several traits mungbean, using mini-core collection established by World Vegetable Center, which includes 296 accessions that represent major market classes. This has been grown common field plot southern European part Russia 2018. Results We used 5041...
The distinctness of, and overlap between, pea genotypes held in several Pisum germplasm collections has been used to determine their relatedness test previous ideas about the genetic diversity of Pisum. Our characterisation among 4,538 accessions 7 European Genebanks identified sources novel variation, both reinforces refines interpretations overall structure Molecular marker analysis was based upon presence/absence polymorphism retrotransposon insertions scored by a high-throughput...
While the domestication process has been investigated in many crops, detailed route of cultivation range expansion and factors governing this received relatively little attention. Here, using mungbean (
Narrow-leaved lupine (Lupinus angustifolius L.), a valuable leguminous crop adapted to wide range of climatic conditions, has very short history domestication. For many centuries it was used mainly as green manure, since the success and prospects multi-purpose use species depend on its breeding improvement, in particular, particular concentration alkaloids seeds mass. The first varieties scientific were created only 1930s after appearance low-alkaloid mutants. Despite for various areas...
Background. Higher content of photosynthetic pigments (PP) and longer time their functioning increase the yield resistance to abiotic stressors in plants. It is especially relevant for pea ( Pisum sativum L.), since more leafless cultivars are introduced into production. Homologs STAY-GREEN gene SGR ), with mutations enabling leaves photosynthesize longer, have been described a number crops, including pea. Therefore, searching sources higher PP levels throughout entire growing season...
In pea (Pisum sativum L.), alleles of the Sym2 gene determine specificity interaction with nodule bacteria (rhizobia). The Sym2A allele present in landraces from Afghanistan provides higher selectiveness toward rhizobia than Sym2E European cultivars. Rhizobial strains possessing nodX can interact both and peas, while lacking only peas. Here, we studied previously obtained introgression line A33.18 bearing a homozygous state genome cultivar ‘Rondo’. has proved its high pot experiments. Genome...
The widespread use of narrowleaf lupine (NLL, Lupinus angustifolius L.) as a feed and food crop requires source material for breeding cultivars with high-quality seeds. priority criterion attributing NLL to the or category is content alkaloids. At same time, equally important seed quality indicators are protein oil content, well moisture which determines possibility long-term storage For first time in Russian science, an attempt was made study relationships between all listed characteristics...

Background. Guar ( Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub.) is a newly introduced crop for southern regions of Russia. gum, component guar seeds, used in number sectors the national economy, being strategically important gas and oil industry. Targeted introduction requires better understanding crop’s adaptive potential, more specifically, its responses to droughts typical most Russia’s areas. Material methods. accessions from VIR collection were phenotyped at Volgograd Experiment Station...
Vavilovia formosa is a relict, endangered species from the highlands of Caucasus and Near East. Described in 1812, it has had an uncertain status was finally recognized as separate genus tribe Fabeae (Fabaceae). Our informal international group established 2007 to revive interest this been seriously neglected for decades. Here, we provide overview accumulated knowledge on V. present results most recent multidisciplinary research. Three expeditions were made two locations Armenia 2009,...
This review is devoted to the analysis of molecular genetic mechanisms controlling type growth habit grain legumes (pea, soybean, common bean, vigna); it provides information about known homologous genes TFL1, LFY, AP1, FUL, FT, and FD. Significant changes in plant architecture were during domestication legumes. Many wild relatives are characterized by an indeterminate type, cultivated plants determinate types. In with a terminal inflorescence formed at transition from vegetative phase...
The Vavilov Institute of Plant Genetic Resources (VIR), in St. Petersburg, Russia, houses a unique genebank, with historical collections landraces. When they were collected, the geographical distribution and genetic diversity most crops closely reflected their patterns cultivation established over preceding millennia. We employed combination genomics, computational biology phenotyping to characterize VIR's 147 chickpea accessions from Turkey Ethiopia, representing chickpea's center origin...
Background The eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E was shown to be involved in resistance against several potyviruses plants, including pea. We combined our knowledge of pea germplasm diversity with that the eIF4E gene identify novel genetic diversity. Methodology/Principal findings Germplasm 2803 accessions screened for intron 3 length polymorphism, resulting detection four eIF4EA-B-C-S variants, whose distribution geographically structured. eIF4EA variant conferring P1 PSbMV...
According to archaeological records, chickpea (Cicer arietinum) was first domesticated in the Fertile Crescent about 10,000 years BP. Its subsequent diversification Middle East, South Asia, Ethiopia, and Western Mediterranean, however, remains obscure cannot be resolved using only archeological historical evidence. Moreover, has two market types: "desi" "kabuli," for which geographic origin is a matter of debate. To decipher history, we took genetic data from 421 landraces unaffected by...
• Premise of the study: Expressed sequence tag (ESTs)–derived microsatellite markers were developed in Lathyrus sativus by screening National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database. The usefulness these novel was validated size polymorphism among grasspea accessions. Methods and Results: Three hundred EST–simple repeat (SSR) primer pairs identified loci characterized 24 accessions from worldwide sources. Among them 139 SSR produced no PCR product, 117 monomorphic, 44...
For a targeted search of initial breeding material for the quality soybean seeds, it is necessary to know patterns dependence corresponding seed characters on weather and climatic conditions in particular region. Global change, concretization which relevant, has share this dependence.
