Grass pea
Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) is a multipurpose robust grain legume crop with high nutritional value and a great potential for utilization in harsh environments. This robust crop is rightly considered as a model for sustainable agriculture. However, as a result of little breeding efforts when compared to other legume crops, grass pea potential has been underexploited. The growing interest in its use in Mediterranean-type environments, all over the world, is boosting a change. In this chapter, we review the presently available genetic resources, major breeding achievements and recent biotechnological approaches used in the improvement of grass pea, highlighting the necessary changes in grass pea research to provide a brighter future to this highly potential crop.Peer reviewe
