Abstract in brief
- Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus) is a nutrient-dense protein source that can thrive in extreme weather conditions, making it important for food security in regions like Ethiopia and India.
- The crop faces challenges such as limited genetic resources and the risk of neurolathyrism due to the neurotoxin β-L-ODAP associated with its consumption.
- A new long-read genome assembly of L. sativus has mapped the biosynthetic pathway of β-L-ODAP, revealing key interactions between enzymes that could help develop safer grass pea varieties with reduced toxin levels.
