The fight against global hunger demands a fresh perspective. Lesser-known legumes, often called ''potential pulses'', can play a pivotal role. These underutilized powerhouses, including adzuki bean, bambara groundnut, faba bean, cowpea, grass pea and horse gram, among others, are currently untapped resources. Their potential goes beyond their ability to thrive in harsh environments (caused by high temperature, drought, etc.) and fix nitrogen. With increased understanding of these legumes and their genetic and genomic potential, we can unlock a new world of sustainable and nutritious food sources. This book explores:The rich genetic diversity of potential pulses and its role in resilience.How advanced genomics can identify traits for improved yields, pest resistance, and climate adaptation.Strategies for conserving and utilizing these valuable genetic resources.Breeding programmes harnessing genetic potential to create next-generation pulse varieties.Focusing on the untapped genetic and genomic potential of these legumes, this book empowers researchers, breeders, and policymakers to unlock a new era of food and nutritional security. By leveraging the power of their genes, we can transform underutilized pulses into the nutritional heroes of tomorrow.
