Lotus japonicus is a wild legume that belongs to family Fabaceae. Members of this family are very diverse, constituting about 20,000 species. They are of significant agricultural and biological importance as many of the legume species are rich sources of protein and oil and can also fix atmospheric nitrogen.

2022年2月28日 · L. japonicus is a self-compatible plant that yields more than 1,000 seeds per plant after around three months of germination. It has a relatively small, ∼500 Mb diploid genome, is easy to vegetatively propagate using cuttings and can be cross-pollinated to establish populations for genetic studies.

Lathyrus japonicus, the sea pea, beach pea, circumpolar pea or sea vetchling, is a species of flowering plant in the legume family Fabaceae, native to temperate coastal areas of the Northern Hemisphere, and Argentina.

The seeds of beach vetchling float and remain viable for long periods in sea water, which may account for their circumboreal distribution. The Iroquois used the stalks to treat rheumatism. Brackish or salt marshes and flats, coastal beaches (sea beaches), dunes, marshes.

L. japonicus is a perennial temperate pasture species that is closely related to birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.) and exhibits characteristics that are useful for genomics, such as a short life cycle (2–3 months), self-fertility, diploidy (n=6), and small genome size (472.1 Mb).

Lotus japonicus is a perennial legume naturally growing in East and Central Asia, including Japan, Korea, and China. It has been used as a model legume since 1992 because of its short generation time, abundant flowers, small diploid genome, amenability to tissue culture and Agrobacterium transformation, self-compatibility, and inter- and intra ...

L. japonicus is a self-compatible plant that yields more than 1,000 seeds per plant after around three months of germination. It has a relatively small, ~500 Mb diploid genome, is easy to vegetatively propagate using cuttings and can be cross-pollinated to establish populations for genetic studies.

2016年12月23日 · Lotus japonicus is a popular, well-characterized model legume 1, widely used to study plant-microbe interactions due to its ability to establish a range of different types of relationship with...

2014年1月1日 · The L. japonicus genespace has been sequenced and re-sequenced in different ecotypes and Lotus species to uncover the biodiversity, and a well-annotated genome has been established as a basis for comparative genome analysis within the genus and the legume family.
