Genomic structure of yellow lupin (Lupinus luteus): genome organization, evolution, gene family expansion, metabolites and protein synthesis.

ABSTRACT: Yellow lupin (Lupinus luteus) gives valuable high-quality protein and has good sustainability due to its ability in nitrogen fixation and exudation of organic acids, which reduces the need for chemical-based phosphate fertilization in acid soils. However, the crop needs further improvements to contribute in a major way to sustainable agriculture and food security.In this study, we present the first chromosome-level genome assembly of L. luteus. The results provide insights into its genomic organization, evolution, and functional attributes. Using integrated genomic approaches, we unveil the genetic bases governing its adaptive responses to environmental stress, delineating the intricate interplay among alkaloid biosynthesis, mechanisms of pathogen resistance, and secondary metabolite trans
