Lotus japonicus & Glycine max

Lotus japonicus is a wild legume that grows naturally in Japan and is widely used as a model legume in basic research. This is because the plant is easy to grow and has a short life cycle (about 3 months) and small genome, the sequence of which has been determined and made publicly available. Glycine max is widely used around the world as food, feed, and a high-value cash crop, because its seeds contain many functional components such as isoflavones and saponins, in addition to proteins and lipids.
