Abstract excerpt
Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) is a grain legume of increasing importance in the Mediterranean region due to its outstanding tolerance to abiotic stresses such as salinity, heat, drought, and flooding, outperforming many other legume species. Despite established natural phenotypic variation in response to water-related stresses, the genetic basis of this resilience remains poorly understood, hindering precision...
