The variability of the garden pea (Pisum sativum L.) and the variety of forms in which it is consumed are a testimony to its long history of cultivation, adaptability and popularity as a crop in countries around the world. The different crop forms are based on different harvest times during the development of either the fruit or the embryo and the presence of particular gene combinations characterize the market product. Those relating to the embryo are those of the fresh vegetable or picked pea, canned, frozen and dehydrated or freeze dried pea markets (Fig. 1 a–d), while those associated with the immature pod are the snow, sugar or mangetout and the sugar snap types (Fig. 1, e and f).
