Researchers Publish Updated Genome Sequence of Grass Pea

An international research collaboration has completed the most detailed genome assembly to date of grass pea. The chromosome-scale reference genome published in Scientific Data offers potential to accelerate modern breeding of this underutilized legume for climate-smart agriculture. Nearly twice the size of the human genome, the sequence was assembled from scratch and improves on an earlier draft assembly of the vigorous grass pea line LS007

 

An international research collaboration has completed the most detailed genome assembly to date of grass pea. The chromosome-scale reference genome published in Scientific Data offers potential to accelerate modern breeding of this underutilized legume for climate-smart agriculture.

 

Nearly twice the size of the human genome, the sequence was assembled from scratch and improves on an earlier draft assembly of the vigorous grass pea line LS007. Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus) is grown in many regions of the world that is high in protein and resilient to drought and flooding. Grass pea is one of the oldest known cultivated plants, now grown in Ethiopia, Eritrea, India, Bangladesh, and Nepal. It has been used for centuries as an insurance crop, as it survives when other crops fail, and is safe to eat as part of a balanced diet.

 

An underutilized crop, grass pea is neglected, but plays a key role in local nutrition and livelihoods, and its resilience to both drought and flooding makes it a promising crop for ensuring food security in a changing climate.
