Unlocking genetic diversity for low-input systems in a changing climate through participatory characterization and GWAS of lentil landraces.

Abstract excerpt

Lentils are a vital staple crop in a world seeking sustainable and secure food, but their cultivation face a threat due to yield instability, mainly arising from a lack of genetic diversity in breeding programmes. In this study, we assembled and characterized the genetic and phenotypic diversities of a collection of 106 lentil genotypes, to evaluate their breeding and cropping potential. Lentil landraces from...
