“…The fruits are flat pods, and the seeds are nonendospermic with globular to angled shape and observed in various colors. The L. sativus is a diploid and has a total chromosome no of 14 (n=7) (Roy 1936). Initially many authors considered Southwest and central Asia as the center of origin however, now it is traced back to Balkan Peninsula (Townsend 1974).…”

Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus) is an ideal pulse crop for sustainable agriculture due to its superior agronomic traits such as deep penetrating root system, resistance to many biotic and abiotic stresses and rich protein content. Even with these superior agronomic traits, the crop is considered as an orphan due to its lower productivity and presence of neurotoxin, b-N-ozalyl-L-adiamino-propanoic acid (ODAP). By following classical and mutational breeding approaches scientists have developed varieties with lower ODAP (< 0.06 %) and efforts are underway to reduce it to zero. However, till date, there are limited biotechnological research in Lathyrus sativus for targeted crop improvement due to unavailability of genome sequence. The recently published draft genome sequence of European accession (LS007) is an important breakthrough and this would help in developing varieties with lower neuro toxin and higher productivity. In this review, the superior agronomic traits, resilience of the crops to various biotic and abiotic stresses, latest genetic research and biotechnological tools developed in L. sativus, are discussed.

“…The developmental variation in TCL and TCV is, therefore not associated with variations in the DNA content between the varieties (cf. Roy andSingh 1967, Fouzdar andTandon 1975). Such variations can be due to changes in the protein content.…”

“…This is mainly because of the low number of chromosomes in the 2n complement as well as their medium size. Leaving aside the genetical work which was initiated at the time of Mendel, the species of this genus have also been explored from the cytological standpoint (Punnet 1925, Latter 1926, Roy 1936, Faberg 1935, Senn 1938, Larsem 1953, Bhattacharjee 1954, Datta 1955etc, and vide Darlington and Wylie 1955.…”
