Lens species genome assemblies reveal evolutionarily fragile chromosomes associated with pericentric inversions

The paper assembles genomes of seven Lens species and identifies fragile chromosomes linked to pericentric inversions and centromere diversity.

Development of a Nested Association Mapping (NAM) population for untangling complex traits in lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.)

This paper develops a lentil NAM population to identify loci underlying complex traits, finding 14 significant loci including novel associations near AP3a, HUB2a, and PIF6 genes.

Oligo-FISH Validates Genome Assemblies and Delivers the Most Precise Karyotype for Lens Mill. Species

The paper uses oligo-FISH to validate genome assemblies and produce the most precise karyotype for Lens species, confirming chromosome assignments and structural rearrangements.

CRISPR/Cas9-based repeat depletion for the high-throughput genotyping of complex plant genomes

This paper uses CRISPR/Cas9 to deplete repetitive DNA in lentil genomes, improving genotyping accuracy and efficiency by focusing sequencing on single-copy regions.

Identification of anthracnose (Colletotrichum lentis) race 1 resistance loci in lentil by integrating linkage mapping and a genome-wide association study

This study identifies anthracnose resistance loci in lentil by combining QTL mapping and GWAS, revealing key genomic regions and SNPs for marker-assisted breeding.

Genomic selection for lentil breeding: empirical evidence

This study evaluates genomic selection models for lentil breeding using empirical data, finding that single-trait models perform well without large effect QTL, while models accounting for GEI and multiple traits improve accuracy for low heritability traits.
