Drought Stress Response in Guar ( (L.) Taub): Physiological and Molecular Genetic Aspects.

Drought has become one of the main factors of crop yield losses worldwide. This negatively affects the plant industry, decreasing crop yields, and it may result in resource deficits in different sectors of the world economy and its national branches. Guar ( (L.

Environment as a limiting factor of the historical global spread of mungbean.

While the domestication process has been investigated in many crops, the detailed route of cultivation range expansion and factors governing this process received relatively little attention. Here, using mungbean ( var. ) as a test case, we investigated the genomes of more than 1000 accessions to illustrate climatic adaptation's role in dictating the unique routes of cultivation range expansion.

Historical Routes for Diversification of Domesticated Chickpea Inferred from Landrace Genomics.

According to archaeological records, chickpea (Cicer arietinum) was first domesticated in the Fertile Crescent about 10,000 years BP. Its subsequent diversification in Middle East, South Asia, Ethiopia, and the Western Mediterranean, however, remains obscure and cannot be resolved using only archeological and historical evidence. Moreover, chickpea has two market types: "desi" and "kabuli," for which the geographic origin is a matter of debate.

Draft Genome Sequence of Guar (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L.) Microsymbiont sp. Strain RCAM05973.

Here, we present the draft genome sequence of sp. strain RCAM05973 which was isolated from a Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (guar) root nodule. The genome contains 6,937,221 bp in 2 contigs and has a GC content of 60%.

Alkaloid content variability in the seeds of narrow-leafed lupine accessions from the VIR collection under the conditions of the Russian Northwest.

Alkaloid content was assessed in the seeds of 59 narrow-leafed lupine (Lupinus angustifolius L.) accessions from the VIR collection in the environments of Leningrad Province. The selected set included accessions of different statuses (wild forms, landraces, and advanced cultivars) and different years of introduction to the collection.
