Reconstruction of a composite comparative map composed of ten legume genomes.

The Fabaceae (legume family) is the third largest and the second of agricultural importance among flowering plant groups. In this study, we report the reconstruction of a composite comparative map composed of ten legume genomes, including seven species from the galegoid clade (, , , , , ) and three species from the phaseoloid clade (, , ). To accomplish this comparison, a total of 209 cross-species gene-derived markers were employed.
