The giant diploid faba genome unlocks variation in a global protein crop

The paper presents a high-quality chromosome-scale genome assembly of faba bean and uses it to develop a genotyping assay and dissect hilum color genetics, providing a genomics-based breeding platform for sustainable protein production.

Dissection of genotype-by-environment interaction and simultaneous selection for grain yield and stability in faba bean (Vicia faba L.)

This study evaluates 13 faba bean genotypes across 15 environments to identify high-yielding and stable genotypes using stability statistics, finding AO1155 as the most stable and high-yielding genotype.

Leaf trichome diversity, acylsugar concentration, and their relationships to leaf area in Solanum galapagense

This study examines trichome diversity and acylsugar concentration in Solanum galapagense accessions and their relationships to leaf area, finding significant genetic variation and associations with insect resistance traits.

Machine Learning Speeding Up the Development of Portfolio of New Crop Varieties to Adapt to and Mitigate Climate Change

The paper uses machine learning to accelerate the development of new crop varieties with climate adaptation and mitigation traits.

An advanced lentil backcross population developed from a cross between Lens culinaris x L. ervoides for future disease resistance and genomic studies

The paper develops an advanced lentil backcross population to enhance disease resistance and genomic studies by introgressing alleles from L. ervoides into a cultivated lentil cultivar.

VC1 catalyzes a key step in the biosynthesis of vicine from GTP in faba bean

The paper identifies VC1 as the enzyme catalyzing vicine biosynthesis from GTP in faba bean and shows its role in vicine content regulation.
