Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on white lupin, a high-protein legume, to explore allelic variants that influence its flowering response to vernalization, aiming to enhance breeding techniques amidst climate changes.
- Researchers phenotyped 120 white lupin accessions across different climates in Europe, assessing their flowering traits in both field and greenhouse settings.
- A genome-wide association study identified several significant loci associated with flowering time, including multiple deletions in the promoter region of the LalbFTc1 gene and connections to known quantitative trait loci (QTLs) on various chromosomes.
Although lupin anthracnose caused by is a significant threat for spring and winter lupin crops, it has been poorly studied so far. This study aimed at characterizing the (i) phylogenetic, (ii) morphological, and (iii) physiological diversity of collected isolates from anthracnose-affected lupins. The genetic identification of representative isolates ( = 71) revealed that they were all species, further confirming that lupin anthracnose is caused by this species.
