Asparagus bean (Vigna. unguiculata ssp. sesquipedialis), known for its very long and tender green pods, is an important vegetable crop broadly grown in the developing Asian countries. In this study, we reported a 632.8 Mb assembly (549.81 Mb non-N size) of asparagus bean based on the whole genome shotgun sequencing strategy. We also generated a linkage map for asparagus bean, which helped anchor 94.42% of the scaffolds into 11 pseudo-chromosomes. A total of 42,609 protein-coding genes and 3,579 non-protein-coding genes were predicted from the assembly. Taken together, these genomic resources of asparagus bean will help develop a pan-genome of V. unguiculata and facilitate the investigation of economically valuable traits in this species, so that the cultivation of this plant would help combat the protein and energy malnutrition in the developing world.
长豇豆(Vigna unguiculata ssp. sesquipedialis),因其非常长而嫩的绿色豆荚而闻名,是亚洲发展中国家广泛种植的重要蔬菜作物。在这项研究中,我们报道了基于全基因组鸟枪法测序策略的长豇豆 632.8 Mb 组装(549.81 Mb 非-N 大小)。我们还为长豇豆生成了一个连锁图谱,帮助将 94.42%的支架锚定到 11 个假染色体中。从组装中总共预测了 42609 个蛋白质编码基因和 3579 个非蛋白质编码基因。总之,这些长豇豆的基因组资源将有助于开发 V.unguiculata 的泛基因组,并促进对该物种中具有经济价值的性状的研究,从而有助于种植这种植物来对抗发展中国家的蛋白质和能量营养不良问题。
