Abstract
Pisum sativum L. (2n = 14) belongs to family Fabaceae and is considered as an important cool-season legume grain crop and green vegetable globally known for its protein-rich seeds, which are used as food and feed. Although, pea is regarded as the genetic model that led to the discovery on ‘Laws of Genetics’, studies on pea in this era of genomics has lagged behind than other major legumes because of its complicated and large genome. The increasing effects of climate change, combined with a growing global population, pose significant challenges to global food security. Therefore, dedicated research and development efforts utilizing omics resources and omics-based techniques are required to support the rapid development of high-yielding pea varieties that are tolerant and resistant to multiple stresses and meet the expanding productivity and quality demands. This chapter provides an overview of genomic tool advancements, such as the establishment of reference genomes, high-throughput genoty** assays, genetic resource databases, transcriptomics, and proteomic advancements, reliable linked DNA markers, comprehensive genetic maps, and marker-assisted breeding, which offer enormous potential for the introgression of candidates genes/QTLs from various sources to accelerate genetic progress in pea. In addition, we present a few representative success stories in which efforts were made to improve quality traits such as starch, protein, antinutritional compounds, and micronutrient concentration in pea. Furthermore, emerging techniques such as transgenics and genome editing (CRISPR/Cas) have great potential and new opportunities to create novel gene combinations to overcome different stress-mediated losses and revolutionize pea breeding. This chapter summarizes progress in pea improvement and outlines future directions for increasing pea productivity through the use of advanced genomic tools and technologies.
