Abstract
Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) is a climate-resistant underused cool season legume crop grown in marginal rainy regions of sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and the Mediterranean region, where it is grown for food as well as forage. In the face of climate change and global warming, grass pea is gaining popularity as a more water and input efficient crop with the unique ability to improve soil fertility while emitting little carbon. With deep penetrating root system, grass pea possesses enormous genetic potential for drought, salt and flood tolerance as well as for surviving under waterlogged condition of rice fallow niches. Despite of its immense potential grass pes is still orphan in terms of genetic and genomic resource. Because of the stigma associated with the presence of β-ODAP responsible for crippling disease, grass pea cultivation has declined in the recent decade. New research has revealed grass pea's potential as a functional food with presence of health-promoting nutraceutical like homoarginine. Concentrated breeding efforts in grass pea have developed 30 improved varieties with low ODAP content for their cultivation in diverse agro-ecologies. Molecular research is still lagging behind and renewed research is needed for strengthening molecular breeding program in grass pea. Availability of draft genome sequencing is a significant step forward towards the application of genomic-assisted breeding in this crop. Grass pea is the golden pulse of future for diversification of more energy and input intensive cereal-based crop** systems which are not long term viable. This chapter focuses on the redesigning of abiotic stress tolerant grass pea and highlights the research gaps that need to be contemplated to make it as a “wonder crop” of future.
