Moreover, compared with the respective cereal and legume sole crops, IC in the cereal-grain legume systems gave higher yield stability than IC in the non-cereal-grain legume systems.
Presumably, other legume systems are similarly tractable to SFP marker development using existing legume array resources.
Now we have a lot of information of genomic resources from soybean and L. japonicus, which will provide us various opportunities to accelerate understanding of legume systems.
Genomic tools have the potential to unravel the molecular mysteries of the SAM, and legume systems are increasingly being used in plant-development studies owing to their unique characteristics such as nitrogen fixation, secondary metabolism, and pod development.
However, with the exception of the symbiotic rhizobia-legumes system, progress towards a more extensive realization of this goal has been slow.
utilis) with maize as a low-input legume intercropping system for its potential in the management of weeds and soil fertility.
For example, a chickpea genome browser is presently hosted by the Legume Information System (LIS) at http://cicar.comparative-legumes.org/gb2/gbrowse/Ca1.0/ [ 19].
Public resources like MtGEA [ 17] (Medicago truncatula Gene Expression Atlas) and LIS [ 18] (Legume Information System) also contain transcriptome data of Medicago truncatula.
BAC, bacterial artificial chromosome; bp, base pair; EST, expressed sequence tag; LIS, legume information system; NCBI, National Center for Biotechnology Information RFLPP, restriction fragment length polymorphism; SNP, single nucleotide polymorphism; SSR, simple sequence repeat.
Legume information system (LIS) and Chickpea Genomic Web Resource (CGWR) mainly provides accessibility to the chickpea genome and its features through genome browsers and quantitative trait loci maps to the users.
CMap has been downloaded well over 1000 times and adapted by many other groups working on a range of different organisms, such as the legume information system, CottonDB, GrainGenes, the nematode Pristionchus and BeeBase.
