53-POS Board 53 RECENT ADVANCES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF MOLECULAR TOOLS FOR ANDEAN LUPIN (Lupinus mutabilis Sweet) Solis-Sarmiento, Julio ; Camarena-Mayta, Felix; Pérez-Huamanlazo, Jeny,; Blas-Sevillano, Raul Universiedad Nacional Agraria La Molina Lupinus mutabilis (Sweet), commonly known as tarwi, chocho or lupin, is an important neglected crop of the Andean region. Development of cultivars with good attributes such as low alkaloid content, high protein content, and disease tolerance requires the utilization of modern breeding tools. The present work represents the first approach to the development of genetic markers from the transcriptome and to the mining of genomic resources of L. mutabilis. By looking at the transcriptome and genome sequences we have identified simple-sequence repeat (SSR) markers and genes of agronomic importance for lupin breeding. The outcomes of the present work will be useful in modern genetic studies of Andean lupin. Acknowledgement Funding to this research was from Innovate Peru (067-InnovatePeru BRI-2016)
