Lentil Breeding in Genomic Era: Present Status and Future Prospects

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Accelerated Plant Breeding, Volume 3

Abstract

Genomics-assisted breeding is a relatively powerful and fast approach to develop high-yielding plant varieties adapted to different environmental conditions. During the past years, genomic resources including mapping populations, high-density linkage maps, molecular markers, and transcriptomics data have been developed in lentil. Use of these genomic resources led to identification of the QTLs or candidate genes controlling yield contributing traits and tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses in lentil. These efforts have opened up the opportunities of exploiting the genomics in breeding program for developing the high-yielding and climate-smart cultivars in lentil.
