Zinc plays many essential roles in life. As a strong Lewis acid that lacks redox activity under
environmental and cellular conditions, the Zn 2+ cation is central in determining protein …

Biofortification through plant breeding is a sustainable approach to improve the nutritional
profile of food crops. The majority of the world's population depends on staple food crops; …

Pulse crops have been known for a long time to have beneficial nutritional profiles for
human diets but have been neglected in terms of cultivation, consumption and scientific …

Abstract Pea (Pisum sativum L.), a cool-season legume crop grown in more than 85

Pea is one of the most important grain legume crops in temperate regions worldwide.
Improving pea yield is a critical breeding target. Nine inter-connected pea recombinant …

Peas (Pisum sativum) are the fourth most cultivated pulses worldwide and a critical source of
protein in animal feed and human food. Developing pea core collections improves our …

Well-performing genomic prediction (GP) models for polygenic traits and molecular marker
sets for oligogenic traits could be useful for identifying promising genetic resources in …

Pea (Pisum sativum L.) is one of the most important and productive cool season pulse crops
grown throughout the world. Biotic stresses are the crucial constraints in harnessing the …

Field pea is highly sensitive to climatic vagaries, particularly high-temperature stress. The
