Chromosomal-level genome of velvet bean (Mucuna pruriens) provides resources for L-DOPA synthetic research and development

Abstract: Mucuna pruriens, commonly called velvet bean, is the main natural source of levodopa (L-DOPA), which has been marketed as a psychoactive drug for clinical management of Parkinson’s disease and dopamine-responsive dystonia. Although velvet bean is a very important plant species for food and pharmaceutical manufacturing, the lack of genetic and genomic information about this species severely hinders further molecular research thereon and biotechnological development. Here, we reported the first velvet bean genom… Show more

“…While the nuclear and chloroplast genomes of M. pruriens have been previously documented (Yuan et al 2021;Hao et al 2022), The inclusion of the full mitochondrial genome allowed for detailed comparisons across various genomic compartments within an individual as well as with other lineages. This broader perspective enables a more comprehensive examination of evolutionary changes.…”
