As a critical soil-borne nutrient, nitrogen availability can have a great impact on the growth and yield of crop plants.<br />
Here we describe the generation of a gene-space assembly for Lolium perenne and its use in the phylogenetic study of<br />
a family of high-affinity nitrate transporter (HAT) genes involved in nitrate uptake under conditions of nitrate deprivation.<br />
Assembly was based on Illumina sequencing of paired-end, mate-pair and long-jumping distance libraries with insert<br />
sizes ranging from
