SUMMARY Legumes represent an important component of human and livestock diets; they are rich in macro‐ and micronutrients such as proteins, dietary fibers and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Whilst several health‐promoting and anti‐nutritional properties have been associated with grain content, in‐depth metabolomics characterization of major legume ...

Abstract Understanding the genetic changes associated with the evolution of biological diversity is of fundamental interest to molecular ecologists. The assessment of genetic variation at hundreds or thousands of unlinked genetic loci forms a sound basis to address questions ranging from micro‐ to macroevolutionary timescales, and is now possible ...

Potential of genomics for the improvement of underutilized legumes in sub‐Saharan Africa
Abstract Underutilized, or orphan legumes, are widely distributed across farming landscapes in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) but often have low yields and do not fulfill their potential due to very limited research, breeding, development, marketing, and awareness of their benefits. These advantages include nutritional quality and climate resilience. In this

Rhizobium sp. Strain NGR234 and R. fredii USDA257 Share Exceptionally Broad, Nested Host Ranges
Genetically, Rhizobium sp. strain NGR234 and R. fredii USDA257 are closely related. Small differences in their nodulation genes result in NGR234 secreting larger amounts of more diverse lipo-oligosaccharidic Nod factors than USDA257.

<i>Campylotropis xinfeniae</i> (Fabaceae, Papilionoideae), a new species from Yunnan, China, based on morphological and molecular evidence. [PDF]
Campylotropis xinfeniae, a new species from the dry‐hot valley of the Jinsha River in the Yunnan province, China, is described and illustrated. Phylogenetic analyses based on the complete chloroplast genome supported C. xinfeniae as a new species located at the base of the genus Campylotropis.
