Genome-wide association studies of nutritional traits in peas (Pisum sativum L.) for biofortification. [PDF]
Abstract Pea (Pisum sativum L.) is a high‐nutrient, cool‐season legume of increasing relevance in plant‐based nutrition and sustainable agriculture. As demand for alternative protein sources increases, improving pea seeds’ nutritional content and quality through genomics‐assisted breeding has become a priority.

Identification of genomic regions associated with partial resistance to Aphanomyces root rot in pea. [PDF]
Abstract Root rot caused by Aphanomyces euteiches is a major concern in pea (Pisum sativum L.). The lack of other effective control strategies makes crucial the development of resistant varieties. Although partial resistance has been reported, its quantitative inheritance, the association of resistance‐linked genomic regions with unfavorable agronomic ...

Genome-wide association study uncovers pea candidate genes and metabolic pathways involved in rust resistance. [PDF]
Abstract Pea (Pisum sativum L.) is an important temperate legume crop providing plant‐based proteins for food and feed worldwide. Pea yield can be limited by several biotic stresses, among which rust represents a major limiting factor in many temperate and subtropical regions.

Surveying and mapping cereals and legumes wild relatives in Mount Hermon (Bekaa, Lebanon). [PDF]
In this study we aim to survey and map the distribution, diversity, and richness of targeted cereal and legume wild relatives of Fabaceae and Poaceae families in Mt. Hermon of Lebanon, Bekaa side. Richness distribution and predictive maps provide relevant clues on candidate sites for conservation planning.

1063. Lathyrus oleraceus Lam.: Leguminosae
Summary A wild relative of the garden pea, formerly called Pisum sativum L., but now included in the genus Lathyrus, is illustrated, and its relationship to cultivated peas is discussed. Recent studies of the DNA of Pisum and Lathyrus have led to the change of name for this common species.

Distorted segregation resulting from pea chromosome reconstructions with alien segments from Pisum fulvum [PDF]
Pea (Pisum sativum L.) satellited chromosome reconstructions were analyzed by cytologic markers to identify segregation distortion events. The presence of modified chromosomes was evaluated on the basis of additional rDNA genes, an extra and a longer satellite, all derived from chromosome 5 and chromosome 7 from P. fulvum Sibth. & Sm.

Field pea diversity and its contribution to farmers' livelihoods in northern Ethiopia
Abstract Field pea is grown by smallholder farmers in Ethiopia as a source of food, fodder, income, and soil fertility. This study explores intraspecific diversity of field pea and its contribution to farmers' livelihoods in two agroecological zones of South Tigray and South Wollo, northeastern Ethiopia.
