Lentil, crop wild relatives, molecular markers, genetic linkage map, QTLAbstract
Lentil, an important crop, requires resilient and productive varieties to mitigate abiotic and biotic stresses associated with climate change. In this context, genetic materials derived from wild lentil genetic resources play a crucial role in genetic improvement and stress tolerance enhancement. Genetic diversity studies, genetic mapping, and advanced high-throughput sequencing technologies have facilitated the identification of adaptive genes, QTLs, and other valuable plant traits in response to stress factors. The integration of genomic technologies with plant breeding has led to significant advancements in lentil genomic research, including the development of dense genetic linkage maps, extensive genotyping, and QTL analyses. This review emphasizes recent advancements in genetic diversity, high-density genetic mapping, high-resolution QTL mapping, and the utilization of genomic tools for genetic improvement.
