A population genomics approach to unlock the genetic potential of lablab (Lablab purpureus (L.) Sweet), an underutilized tropical forage crop
The publicly available genomic tools and field evaluation data from this study will offer a valuable resource for plant breeders and researchers to inform a new cycle of lablab breeding. With the aid of these tools, the breeding cycle will be significantly reduced and livestock farmers will have access to improved lablab varieties in a shorter time-frame.
