Abstract
Grasspea (Lathyrus sativus L.) is a cool-season legume crop with a broad range of genetic diversity prevalent across the continents. Grasspea is an underutilized source of calories and protein for populations residing in areas with frequent droughts and marginal areas of Asia, Africa and in few pockets of Australia. It is a viable crop option for agro-ecosystems, where successful cultivation of major crop species is difficult especially under the changing scenario of climate change. The major constraint in grasspea production is a neurotoxin known as β-N-oxalyl-l-α,β-diaminopropionic acid known as (β-ODAP) causing neurolathyrism, a neurotoxic disease in humans, thus making it unfit for the human consumption. The strategic reduction of ODAP through genetic manipulation is the sole option to obtain the benefits of this “orphan crop”. Lathyrus genetic resources in large ex situ collections have been done in various gene banks of the world by undertaking collection, conservation, evaluation, characterization and utilization. It has found that no significant efforts have been made for alien gene transfer in grasspea, in spite of a large number of wild relatives with useful traits. The grasspea is well-adapted to a number of biotic stresses but yet incur considerable yield losses of approx. 15–25%. Till date, negligible genetic resources have been exploited to develop grasspea genotype resistant against biotic stresses viz. diseases and pests. Foliar diseases are predominantly responsible for the substantial yield loss. This chapter reviews the present status of genomic resources of grasspea and their use in developing biotic stress resistant genotypes.
