In spite of their importance, legume crop production is challenged by a number of biotic (diseases and pests) and abiotic stresses (heat, frost, drought and salinity), edaphic factors (associated with soil nutrient deficits) and policy issues (where less emphasis is put on legumes compared to priority starchy staples). Significant research and development work have been done in the past decade on important grain legumes through collaborative bilateral and multilateral projects as well as the CGIAR Research Program on Grain Legumes (CRP‐GL). Through these initiatives, genomic resources and genomic tools such as draft genome sequence, resequencing data, large‐scale genomewide markers, dense genetic maps, quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and diagnostic markers have been developed for further use in multiple genetic and breeding applications. Also, these mega‐initiatives facilitated release of a number of new varieties and also dissemination of on‐the‐shelf varieties to the farmers. More efforts are needed to enhance genetic gains by reducing the time required in cultivar development through integration of genomics‐assisted breeding approaches and rapid generation advancement. date: 2019-08 date_type: published publication: Plant Breeding (TSI) publisher: Wiley pagerange: 1-13 id_number: 10.1111/pbr.12554 refereed: TRUE issn: 01799541 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/pbr.12554 related_url_url: https://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=Genomics%2C+genetics+and+breeding+of+tropical+legumes+for+better+livelihoods+of+smallholder+farmers&btnG= related_url_type: pub funders: Tropical Legumes I, II and III; Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation projects: Tropical Legumes citation: Ojiewo, C O and Monyo, E and Desmae, H and Boukar, O and Mukankusi-Mugisha, C and Thudi, M and Pandey, M K and Saxena, R K and Gaur, P M and Chaturvedi, S K and Fikre, A and Ganga Rao, N V P R and Sameer Kumar, C V and Okori, P and Janila, P and Rubyogo, J C and Godfree, C and Akpo, E and Omoigui, L and Nkalubo, S and Fenta, B and Binagwa, P and Kilango, M and Williams, M and Mponda, O and Okello, D and Chichaybelu, M and Miningou, A and Bationo, J and Sako, D and Diallo, S and Echekwu, C and Umar, M L and Oteng-Frimpong, R and Mohammed, H and Varshney, R K and Ordon, F (2019) Genomics, genetics and breeding of tropical legumes for better livelihoods of smallholder farmers.
