abstract: Plant domestication is evolution in
a human-made environment. A diversity
“bottleneck” changed the sample of genes
passing from one generation to another.
Today’s crops depend on humans for habitat
and propagation because some of desired
traits are often maladaptive in nature.
Legume genetic resources (wild species,
landraces, cultivars, breeding lines,
segregating populations, genetic stocks and
mutants) are most often used for studying
genetic diversity, agro-morphological and
nutritional quality traits, and host plant
resistance to pathogens and insect pests.
They also offer means for understanding
plant domestication. Their diversity also
shows a great potential for improving crops.
Advances in omics are providing new
knowledge for using this germplasm diversity
in legume genetic enhancement.
