Crop wild relatives (CWRs), landraces and exotic germplasm are important sources of
genetic variability, alien alleles, and useful crop traits that can help mitigate a plethora of …

Most of the lentil growing countries face a certain set of abiotic and biotic stresses causing
substantial reduction in crop growth, yield, and production. Until-to date, lentil breeders have …

Key message Given recent advances in pulse molecular biology, genomics-driven breeding
has emerged as a promising approach to address the issues of limited genetic gain and low …

Recent advances in genomics and associated disciplines like bioinformatics have made it
possible to develop genomic resources, such as large-scale sequence data for any crop …

Conventional breeding techniques for crop improvement have reached their full potential,
and hence, alternative routes are required to ensure a sustained genetic gain in lentils …

Recent advances in next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have led the surge of
genomic resources for the improvement legume crops. Advances in high throughput …

Frost is a major abiotic stress of winter type faba beans (Vica faba L.) and has adverse
effects on crop yield. Climate change, far from reducing the incidence of frost events, is …

Improving frost tolerance and winter hardiness with desirable agronomic features are the
main objectives in winter faba bean (Vicia faba L.) breeding programs, especially in cool …

Lentil is an ancient legume crop cultivated thousands of years for its nutritious seeds, its
ability to improve soil colonized by nitrogen fixing symbiotic bacteria, and providing income …

Abstract Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) is a cool-season grain legume crop that is mainly
cultivated across the semi-arid regions of Australia, South Asia, Africa, and North America …
