High quality genome sequence reveals important events during domestication of White Lupin

Prod 2019-88m BAP GEAPSI INRA; International audience; White lupin (Lupinus albus; 2n=50) is the only crop producing cluster roots, an outstanding developmental adaptation to low phosphate soils. We report a high-quality chromosome-scale assembly of white lupin genome, together with an extensive transcriptome data from ten different organs. We used singlemolecule real-time technology, in combination with short-reads sequencing and optical and genetic maps to have a successful assembly. The final assembly size is 443 Mb with a N50 of 17 Mb. About 98% of the assembled genome is included on the 25 pseudo-chromosomes. The structural annotation identified 38258 coding genes and 3,129 ncRNA, bein…
