“…In this study, we assessed the metabolic diversity in five grain legume species commonly growing in Europe, namely, Phaseolus vulgaris , Cicer arietinum , Lens culinaris , Lupinus albus and Lupinus mutabilis , in the intelligent collection recently developed for these five species (Cortinovis et al., 2021; Guerra‐García et al., 2021; Kroc et al., 2021; Rocchetti et al., 2022). Overall, these species represent a cross‐section in terms of their potential value for sustainable food production and are linked to European food traditions and needs.…”

SUMMARYLegumes represent an important component of human and livestock diets; they are rich in macro‐ and micronutrients such as proteins, dietary fibers and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Whilst several health‐promoting and anti‐nutritional properties have been associated with grain content, in‐depth metabolomics characterization of major legume species remains elusive. In this article, we used both gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC‐MS) and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC‐MS) to assess the metabolic diversity in the five legume species commonly grown in Europe, including common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), chickpea (Cicer arietinum), lentil (Lens culinaris), white lupin (Lupinus albus) and pearl lupin (Lupinus mutabilis), at the tissue level. We were able to detect and quantify over 3400 metabolites covering major nutritional and anti‐nutritional compounds. Specifically, the metabolomics atlas includes 224 derivatized metabolites, 2283 specialized metabolites and 923 lipids. The data generated here will serve the community as a basis for future integration to metabolomics‐assisted crop breeding and facilitate metabolite‐based genome‐wide association studies to dissect the genetic and biochemical bases of metabolism in legume species.

Legumes maintain soil fertility thanks to their associated microbiota but are threatened by climate change that causes soil microbial community structural and functional modifications. The core microbiome associated with different chickpea and lentil genotypes was described after an unexpected climatic event. Results showed that chickpea and lentil bulk soil microbiomes varied significantly between two sampling time points, the first immediately after the rainfall and the second 2 weeks later. Rhizobia were associated with the soil of the more productive chickpea genotypes in terms of flower and fruit number. The root‐associated bacteria and fungi were surveyed in lentil genotypes, considering that several parcels showed disease symptoms. The metabarcoding analysis revealed that reads related to fungal pathogens were significantly associated with one lentil genotype. A lentil core prokaryotic community common to all genotypes was identified as well as a genotype‐specific one. A higher number of specific bacterial taxa and an enhanced tolerance to fungal diseases characterized a lentil landrace compared to the commercial varieties. This outcome supported the hypothesis that locally adapted landraces might have a high recruiting efficiency of beneficial soil microbes.

“…Environmental factors like as salinity and nutrient deprivation have a significant impact on global chickpea productivity. Drought is thought to be one of the most serious abiotic stresses, accounting for 40-45 percent of chickpea yield losses (La et al, 2022). Chickpea growth and productivity are affected by drought and high temperatures.…”

“…Chickpea plants that are subjected to unfavorable conditions throughout the reproductive phase can lose their flowers, young pods, or developing seeds, and then begin flowering when the conditions improve (Peake et al 2020). Food legume genetic resources must be characterized, maintained, and used in order to breed new varieties with increased adaptability, quality attributes, and nutritional value (Rocchetti et al, 2022). The early stages of plant inflorescence growth are just as important as the later stages of floral development.…”

Chickpeas are a rich source of dietary protein and phenolic bioactives that promote human health, and they are widely used as food and culinary ingredients in current and ethnic cuisines around the world. Due to its natural drought and heat tolerance, chickpea will become increasingly important with climate change. Chickpea is an indeterminate crop flowering over a long period of time, with leaf and branch formation continuing during pod filling. The early stages of plant inflorescence growth are just as important as the later stages of floral development. During those early phases, certain properties, such as inflorescence architecture and flower developmental timings, are defined. A variety of climatic and environmental conditions influence chickpea growth, development, and grain yield. Chickpea production gets hampered by climatic extremes such as unpredictable rainfall, very hot and low temperatures, drought. Environmental factors like as salinity and nutrient deprivation have a significant impact on global chickpea productivity. Every year, Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceris causes massive yield losses in chickpeas. Other effective biotic stress factors are root diseases (collar rot, and dry root rot), and foliar diseases (Ascochyta blight, Botrytis grey mold). In this review, some valuable information related to chickpea is extracted from international articles published mostly in last year and presented here.
