Abstract
Vicia villosa is an incompletely domesticated annual legume of the Fabaceae family native to Europe and Western Asia. V. villosa is widely used as a cover crop and as a forage due to its ability to withstand harsh winters. A reference-quality genome assembly (Vvill1.0) was prepared from low error rate long sequence reads to improve genetic-based trait selection of this species. The Vvill1.0 assembly includes seven scaffolds corresponding to the seven estimated linkage groups and comprising approximately 68% of the total genome size of 2.03 gigabase pairs (Gbp). This assembly is expected to be a useful resource for genetic improvement of this emerging cover crop species as well as to provide useful insights into plant genome evolution.
