Vignais a unique genus that consist of multiple crop species that are domesticated in parallel fashion between 7–10 thousand years ago. Here we studied the evolution of nucleotide-binding site leucine-rich repeat receptor (NLR) genes across five crop species of genusVigna. In total identified 286, 350, 234, 250, 108 and 161 NLR genes were fromPhaseolous vulgaris,Vigna. unguiculata,Vigna mungo,Vigna radiata,Vigna angularisandVigna umbellatarespectively. Comprehensive phylogenetic and clusterization analysis reveals the presence of seven subgroups of Coiled coil like NLRs (CC-NLR) genes and four distinct lineages of Toll interleukin receptor like NLRs (TIR-NLR). Subgroup CCG10-NLR shows large scale diversification amongVignaspecies suggesting genus specific distinct duplication pattern inVignaspecies. Mainly birth of new NLR gene families and higher rate of terminal duplication is the major determinants for expansion of NLRome in genusVigna. Recent expansion of NLRome inV. anguiculataandV. radiatawas also observed which might suggest that domestication have supported their duplication of lineage specific NLR genes. In short, large scale difference in the architecture of NLRome were observed in diploid plant species. Our findings allowed us to hypothesized that independent parallel domestication is the major drivers of highly divergent evolution of NLRome in genusVigna.
