Investigation of NLR Genes Reveals Divergent Evolution on NLRome in Diploid and Polyploid Species in Genus Trifolium.

ABSTRACT: Crop wild relatives contain a greater variety of phenotypic and genotypic diversity compared to their domesticated counterparts. Trifolium crop species have limited genetic diversity to cope with biotic and abiotic stresses due to artificial selection for consumer preferences. Here, we investigated the distribution and evolution of nucleotide-binding site leucine-rich repeat receptor (NLR) genes in the genus of Trifolium with the objective to identify reference NLR genes. We identified 412, 350, 306, 389 and 241 NLR genes were identified from Trifolium. subterraneum, T. pratense, T. occidentale, subgenome-A of T. repens and subgenome-B of T. repens, respectively. Phylogenetic and clustering analysis reveals seven sub-groups in genus Trifo
