Chromosome-level, haplotype-resolved genome assembly of the tanniferous forage legume big trefoil (Lotus pedunculatus Cav.) using CiFi
Big trefoil (Lotus pedunculatus Cav.) is a perennial forage legume that thrives on acidic, low-fertility soils and produces condensed tannins that reduce enteric methanogenesis in ruminants. Despite this agronomic potential, genomic resources for the species remain scarce, and the existing haploid assembly does not resolve the two haplotypes of this outcrossing diploid species. Here we present a…
