Genome sequencing of Faidherbia albida. Faidherbia albida

Faidherbia albida is used as a key agroforestry species in traditional African farming systems for hundreds of years due to its key distinctive features like reverse phenology and nitrogen-fixing ability. Although it has attracted the interest of scientists, little is known about its features. The draft genome of F. albida, serves as an important complementary resource to legume genomes, and is valuable for both agroforestry and evolutionary research.
