The Earlham Institute is one of 32 partners from 16 countries who will be contributing information to the Legume Generation project. Sharing information about legume crops to a living database allows breeders to improve legumes including peas, beans, lentils, and soybeans – which are an inexpensive and nutritious staple eaten around the world.
The Earlham Institute is collating phenotypic and genetic data from members of the consortium into databases, managed by the Institute under FAIR principles and made available to breeders to improve legume food crops and animal feed.
