Yellow lupin (Lupinus luteus L.) transcriptome sequencing: molecular marker development and comparative studies.

Background: Yellow lupin (Lupinus luteus L.) is a minor legume crop characterized by its high seed protein content. Although grown in several temperate countries, its orphan condition has limited the generation of genomic tools to aid breeding efforts to improve yield and nutritional quality.

Development of microsatellite markers in Lupinus luteus (Fabaceae) and cross-species amplification in other lupine species.

Premise Of The Study: Microsatellite primers were developed in Lupinus luteus L., an emerging temperate protein crop, to investigate genetic diversity, population structure, and to facilitate the generation of better yellow lupine varieties. •

Methods And Results: Thirteen polymorphic primer sets were evaluated in a European and Eastern European accession collection of L.
