| description | Yam bean (<i>Pachyrhizus erosus</i> Rich. Ex DC.) is an underutilized leguminous crop which has been used as a food source across central America and Asia. It is adapted to a range of environments and is closely related to major leguminous food crops, offering the potential to understand the genetic basis of environmental adaptation, and it may be used as a source of novel genes and alleles for the improvement of other legumes. Here, we assembled a draft genome of <i>P. erosus</i> of 460 Mbp in size containing 37,886 gene models. We used this assembly to compare three cultivars each of <i>P. erosus</i> and the closely related <i>P. tuberosus</i> and identified 10,187,899 candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The SNP distribution reflects the geographic origin and morphology of the individuals. |
