“…The most evident direct effect of higher temperatures is on the growth and yield of crops, and the indirect effect more clearly associated with the increase in temperature is the increase in drought risk. Gupta et al (2019) stated that it is anticipated that climate change is likely to exert a substantial effect on various insect pest management programs including host-plant resistance, natural plant products, bio-pesticides, natural enemies, and efficacy of synthetic chemicals. Several works have addressed the effect of global warming and climate change in lentil and other pulses (Cutforth et al 2007;Bueckert and Clarke 2013;Bhandari et al 2016;Bourgault et al 2018).…”

“…Three recent papers (Singh et al 2018;Gupta et al 2019Gupta et al , 2020 have reviewed the use of wild germplasm in relation to the response to stresses (cold, drought, salinity, diseases, etc.). Among the extensive amount of data compiled, these papers summarize the wild germplasm used to that date for the introgression of useful traits in cultivated lentil in relation to the response to several diseases (anthracnose, Ascochyta blight (AB), Fusarium wilt (FS), powdery mildew, and rust), to pests and parasitic plants (Sitona weevils, bruchid weevils, and orobanche), in addition to some abiotic stresses (drought, cold, and yield components).…”

“…Also Ladizinsky and Abbo (2015) and Malhotra et al (2019) summarized the potential of wild Lens resources as resistance sources. Likewise, Gupta et al (2019) summarized the resistance sources found in the lentil cultivated gene from many different countries, namely to AB, anthracnose, rust, FW, Botrytis gray mold, and Stemphylium blight. Rana et al (2016) summarized the pulse crop resources in the large national collection of India, listing lentil, and other pulses, accessions with resistance to diseases and pests and as sources of agro-morphological characters, quality, biochemical traits, and abiotic stresses.…”

Kumar et al (2015), Ates et al (2018), and Gupta et al (2019) have recently summarized the mapping efforts in lentil using from isozyme and morphological markers to molecular markers including random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), SSR, inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR), single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), etc., and from 1994 to 2017. The more recent list by Gupta et al (2019) includes 20 different maps (23 references) generated from different segregant populations obtained from intra-and interspecific crosses.…”

Genomic Designing for Biotic Stress Resistant Pulse Crops

Lentils are already one of the main pulses of the world, as they are one of the main sources of protein for humans. As a crop, they are also gaining momentum because the rusticity and tolerance to water scarcity of some varieties are a good fit with the current global warming trend and climate change in general. However, while the harvested area and overall production have drastically increased over the last decades, yield has only experienced very modest increments. The reasons are two-fold. First, pathogens are affecting the crop as never before, likely due to not only the changing climate but also to the expansion of lentil cultivation to new geographic areas. Second, genomics-aided breeding is far behind many other crops. This is in partly due to the lack of genomic tools currently available to researchers. Progress is being made to adopt high-throughput genomic methods, and researchers will be able to tackle lentil gene discovery and breeding for pathogen resistance and other biotic stresses more efficiently in the coming years. We outline the current situation, novel findings, and prospects of lentil research for biotic stresses. IntroductionLentil (Lens culinaris Medik. subsp. culinaris) is one of the first domesticated species in the Fertile Crescent and along with barley, emmer wheat and einkorn wheat, pea, chickpea, and flax was part of the set of crops that defined the beginnings of the Neolithic transition to agriculture in this part of the World. The origin of the cultivated form is the wild L. culinaris subsp. orientalis (Boiss.) Ponert (syn. L. orientalis Boiss.). A recent publication by Liber et al. (2021) suggests that phylogenetics, population structure, and archeological data coincide in a lentil domestication prolonged in time in Southwest Asia, with two different domesticated gene pools.
