a Illustration of L. minor clone 5500. b Histogram of the relative DNA content from L. minor obtained by flow cytometry. A genome content of 481 Mbp was determined for L. minor genome using the DNA content of different plant species (Arabidopsis, tomato and soybean) as internal standard. c Picture of L. minor chromosomes of L. minor (2n = 40). The number of chromosomes was determined by DAPI staining. Scale bar 1 µm. d Evaluation of the L. minor genome annotation with AED annotation scoring value’s. The L. minor genome annotation is compared to reference curves from Maker-P annotation tool
