This book on lupin genomics primarily focuses on the narrow-leafed
lupin (NLL), and details the genomic resources that have been
developed and how they are currently being used to help advance
both fundamental and applied research on NLL in areas ranging from
its domestication to plant-microbe interactions and syntenic
relationships between NLL and other legume crops. It also reports
on genomic efforts being pursued with regard to other lupin crops.
Lupins are important ecological 'engineers': they can colonise and
thrive in low-nutrient soils due to their ability to fix
atmospheric nitrogen in symbiosis with bacteria and efficiently
take up phosphorous. Recently, lupins have attracted considerable
interest, not only because of their value for sustainable farming
as a break crop, but also as a potential 'super food' for fighting
major health issues in connection with diabetes and obesity.
Narrow-leafed lupin is the main grain legume crop, grown primarily
in Australia, and was therefore selected for the development of a
reference lupin genome and associated genomic resources. Its genome
has recently been sequenced with a focus on the gene-rich space,
which has advanced the development of new breeding tools for the
improvement of NLL and related lupin crops.
