The lablab bean, scientifically called Lablab purpureus (or Dolichos lablab), and locally known as Njahi, is a versatile subtropical and tropical nitrogen-fixing legume.

The sequencing of the hyacinth bean or ‘lablab bean’ [Lablab purpureus] paves the way for wider cultivation of the crop, bringing nutritional and economic benefits, as well as much needed ...

But lablab’s potential for genetic improvement to boost its productivity and facilitate wider cultivation – especially in drought-prone areas – has yet to be fully exploited.

An international team of researchers has fully sequenced the genome of a climate resilient bean that could bolster food security in drought-prone regions. The sequencing of the hyacinth bean or ...
