Comparative mapping of disease resistance genes in Lathyrus spp. using model legume genetic information

Publication . Almeida, Nuno

Lathyrus cicera L. (chickling pea) and L. sativus L. (grass pea) have great potential among grain legumes due to their adaptability to inauspicious environments, high protein content and resistance to serious diseases. Lathyrus spp. are considered potential sources of high quality and cheap protein. Nevertheless, due to its past underuse, further activities are required to exploit this potential and to capitalise on the present molecular biology advances on Lathyrus spp. breeding programmes.(...)
