Faidherbia albida is an agriculturally, biologically, medicinally and economically important African orphan crop. It is a thorny tree growing up 6–30 m (20–98 ft) tall and 2 m (6.6 ft) in trunk diameter. Its deep-penetrating tap root makes it highly resistant to drought. The bark is grey, and fissured when old. There are 11,000 seeds/kg. Wikipedia includes in its list of uses; flowers are important in raising bees; seed pods important for raising livestock and as food sources for camel, elephant, antelope, buffalo, baboons and others; Ashes of the wood are used in making soap and as a depilatory and tanning agent for hides; Wood is used for canoes, mortars, and pestles, and carving; the thorny branches useful for a natural barbed fence.
Here we present draft genome information of Faidherbia albida. The assembled genome of Faidherbia albida is 654 Mb, and we predict 28979 protein-coding genes for this crop species. We have further analyzed the expansion and contraction of selected gene families, and characterized root-nodule-symbiosis genes, transcription factors and starch biosynthesis related genes in the genome of this species.
