Abstract:
We present a genome assembly of Vicia parviflora (Slender Tare; Streptophyta; Magnoliopsida; Fabales; Fabaceae). The primary assembly has a total length of 2,826.49 megabases. Most of the primary assembly (99.62%) is scaffolded into 7 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial sequences have lengths of 341.49 and 64.57 kilobases and the plastid genome assembly has a length of 122.23 kilobases. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces reference genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland.

Transgenic Plants
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...
