Breeding for Biotic Stress Resistance in Pea

Pea (Pisum sativum) stands out as one of the most significant and productive cool-season pulse crops cultivated worldwide. Dealing with biotic stresses remains a critical challenge in fully harnessing pea’s potential productivity. As such, dedicated research developmental efforts are necessary to make use omic resources advanced breeding techniques. These approaches crucial facilitating rapid timely development high-yielding varieties that can tolerate resist multiple stresses. The availability genomic tools, such comprehensive genetic maps reliable DNA markers, holds immense promise for integrating resistance genes from diverse sources. This integration helps accelerate gains pea crops. review provides an overview recent accomplishments resource peas. It also covers inheritance controlling various stress responses, control pathogenesis disease-causing organisms, mapping genes/QTLs, well transcriptomic proteomic advancements. By combining conventional modern omics-enabled strategies, be significantly enhanced.
