Abstracts: In order to enhance the understanding of the diversity and evolutionary aspects of WRKY genes in legumes, we explored the functions and applications of WRKY transcription factor family members in breeding. In this study, the WRKY genes of five legumes, soybean, chickpea, kidney bean, thistles alfalfa and bermudagrass, were analyzed in terms of chromosomal…

The Leguminosae (Fabaceae) are one of the largest families of flowering plants, after Asteraceae and Orchidaceae. It is one of the most successful groups of angiosperms in terms of morphological diversity and adaptability. The Fabaceae family consists of nearly 20,000 species in about 765 genera and contributes 27% of global crop production. It contains a…

Astragalus sinicus (2n=2x=16), native to China and widely grown in South Asian countries such as Korea and Japan, belongs to the leguminous family of crops of the yellow sage family. Astragalus sinicus is an important green manure crop. Crop rotation during the winter fallow period can improve soil fertility by replacing 40% of mineral nitrogen…

Recently, the Fertilizer and Fertilization Technology Team of the Institute of Agricultural Resources and Agricultural Planning, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS) completed the first reference genome assembly at the chromosome level of the leguminous green manure, Zi Yunying, and resolved the genetic basis of symbiotic nodulation in Zi Yunying using comparative genomics. This study…

The Leguminosae is one of the most biodiverse families of angiosperms, with nearly 20,000 species, including many agriculturally and economically important crops. Leguminosae can be divided into six subfamilies, among which Bauhinia subfamily (Cercidoideae) has 12 genera and more than 300 species, and Glycyrrhizae subfamily (Detarioideae) has 84 genera and more than 700 species, which…
