Abstract

Practices of agriculture and plant breeding approaches are indispensable for feeding the populaces of the world. In agriculture, the grain legumes occupy a unique position for their value as food and fodder, their role in biological nitrogen fixation, and as industrial raw materials. There are several reasons for the low productivity of pulses, which include a lack of high yielding genotypes, the vagaries of the monsoon, sowing on marginal lands under rain-fed conditions, negligence of plant protection, and imbalances of plant nutrients. Lack of genetic variability limits the scope of selection for better genotypes. For improvement in seed yield, genetic reconstitution of such crops is required to evolve better plant types. Mutation breeding has proven beneficial to upsurge the existing germplasm variability for improving certain specific traits of the varieties. By integrating molecular high throughput mutation screening techniques, induced mutations could increase the required genetic diversity for the improvement of pulses, particularly lentils.
