Root and foot diseases severely impede grain legume cultivation worldwide. Breeding lines
with resistance against individual pathogens exist, but these resistances are often overcome …

Abstract Pea (Pisum sativum L.), a cool-season legume crop grown in more than 85
countries, is the second most important grain legume and one of the major green vegetables …

Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) seeds are relatively rich in iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn), making lentil
a potential crop to aid in the global battle against human micronutrient deficiency …

Background Marker-assisted breeding is now routinely used in major crops to facilitate more
efficient cultivar improvement. This has been significantly enabled by the use of next …

Mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) quality is dependent on seed chemical composition, which in
turn determines the benefits of its consumption for human health and nutrition. While mung …

Background Genome-wide association (GWA) mapping has recently emerged as a valuable
approach for refining the genetic basis of polygenic resistance to plant diseases, which are …

Pea (Pisum sativum L.) is an annual cool-season legume and one of the oldest
domesticated crops. Dry pea seeds contain 22–25% protein, complex starch and fiber …

Environmental stress hampers pea productivity. To understand the genetic basis of heat
resistance, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted on six stress …

Pea (Pisum sativum L.) is one of the most important and productive cool season pulse crops
grown throughout the world. Biotic stresses are the crucial constraints in harnessing the …

Micronutrient malnutrition is a global concern that affects more than two billion people
worldwide. Pea (Pisum sativum) is a nutritious pulse crop with potential to assist in tackling …
