Lupins are important grain legume crops that form a critical part of sustainable farming systems, reducing fertilizer use and providing disease breaks. It has basal phylogenetic position relative to other crop model legumes high speciation rate. Narrow-leafed lupin (NLL; Lupinus angustifolius L.) is gaining popularity as health food, which in protein dietary fibre but low starch gluten-free. We report the draft genome assembly (609 Mb) NLL cultivar Tanjil, captured >98% gene content, sequences additional lines dense genetic map. unique among differ from most land plants they do not mycorrhizal associations. Remarkably, we find lost all mycorrhiza-specific genes, retained genes commonly required for mycorrhization nodulation. In addition, also provided candidate key resistance domestication traits. evidence whole-genome triplication at around 25 million years ago genistoid lineage leading Lupinus. Our results will support detailed studies evolution accelerate breeding programmes.
