The genus Vigna, family Fabaceae, consists of many species of such kind, as they are often adapted to harsh environments including marine beach, arid sandy soil, acidic soil, limestone karst and marshes. Here we report long-read assemblies of 12 Vigna species, achieving 95\% or higher BUSCO scores. The comparative analyses discovered a new class of WUSCHEL-related homeobox (WOX) transcription factor superfamily that are incorporated into LTR retrotransposons and have dramatically amplified in some species of the genus Vigna. Except WOX transcription factors, however, gene contents are highly conserved among Vigna species with few copy number variations. On the other hand, transcriptome data provided some insights that transcriptional alterations played more important roles in evolution of stress tolerance in the genus Vigna. The whole genome sequences presented in this study will facilitate understanding genetic mechanisms of stress tolerance and application for developing new crops that are adapted to unfavorable environments.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.
