Abstract
Pea (?Pisum sativum L.) is one of the first domesticated crops and was the model crop for foundational genetic studies by Gregor Mendel. It is currently grown in most temperate regions of the world with annual production over the past decade of approximately 10?×?106 t of dry pea and 15?×?106 t of vegetable pea. Pea belongs to the Leguminosae plant family and consists of two species, P. fulvum and P. sativum. The centre of pea genetic diversity is the broad area of the Fertile Crescent with Ethiopia postulated as a secondary centre of diversity. Pea genetic resources are extensive with ex situ germplasm holdings of >?70,000 accessions in 28 plus national and international collections. Most pea-breeding activities are currently conducted in public institutions in Canada, the USA, Australia, Europe, India and China, with smaller programmes in Africa and South America, and private breeding in companies in Europe, the USA and New Zealand. Through these efforts, pea yields have been improved by approximately 2?% per year over the past 15 years. In addition, substantial progress has been made in improving lodging resistance, disease resistance (fungal, bacterial and viral), seed visual quality and modest improvements in abiotic (heat, frost, salinity and herbicide resistance) stress resistance. Pea-breeding methods include pedigree, single-seed descent and F2-derived family methods, followed by multi-location yield trials and breeder seed development. Varieties are released by various mechanisms including tender release, release through a previously established partner, or direct release by companies. Many biotechnological approaches have been developed or are currently under developed to improve breeding efficiency in pea, particularly the development of various molecular markers. A genome sequencing effort was recently initiated by an international consortium.
