Article Synopsis
- White lupin (Lupinus albus L.) is a high-protein alternative to soybean in Central Europe but faces challenges from the fungal disease anthracnose, which impacts yield, and alkaloid management for nutrition.
- The study involved genotyping and phenotypic analysis of various white lupin genotypes for resistance to anthracnose, and assessed seed alkaloid and protein levels using technologies like genotyping by sequencing and near-infrared spectroscopy.
- Results showed some breeding lines with anthracnose resistance rivaling top commercial cultivars, while genome-wide association studies identified significant SNP markers for disease resistance and nutritional traits, aiding future breeding programs for improved white lupin.
To meet the current challenges in human food production, improved understanding of the genetic diversity of crop species that maximizes the selection efficacy in breeding programs is needed. The present study offers new insights into the diversity, genetic structure and demographic history of cultivated rye (Secale cereale L.).
