The Lentil Genome: Genetics, Genomics and Breeding is a comprehensive volume on this important legume, from its economic importance to the latest in sequencing. The book includes botanical descriptions, discussion of lentil genetics, cytogenetics and breeding, molecular mapping genes and QTLs, as well as structural and functional genomics, genome sequencing, assembly, repetitive genome, gene annotation and synteny. Lentil [Lens culinaris ssp. culinaris Medikus] is among the earliest domesticates from the Near-East Fertile Crescent and plays a vital role in nutritional wellbeing and livelihood for the small-scale farmers in the dryland agricultural ecosystems of South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, West Asia, and North Africa. The classical plant breeding approach of selection-recombination-selection has been used successfully for genetic improvement in lentil. However further genetic improvement for developing the high yielding cultivars is required knowledge of gene network underlying the complex traits. Realizing the importance of genomics enabled improvement in crop plants, the scientific community has recently placed major emphasis on whole genome sequencing in many major crops including lentil. This compilation of the latest lentil genome research serves the immediate needs of students, scientists and is needed to strengthen conventional crop improvement strategies of lentil.
- Focuses on the latest tools and strategies for genome sequencing
- Includes discussions of public and private genome sequencing and how the information is leading to advancements
- Highlights the impact on germplasm characterization gene discovery and generic improvement in post genome era
- Presents insights from leading experts from around the globe

About the Author
Dr. Debjyoti Sen Gupta is Scientist (Sr. Scale) at ICAR-Indian Institute of Pulses Research in Kanpur, India. He was one of the ICAR International Fellow and received his Ph.D. at North Dakota State University (NDSU), Fargo, USA in 2015. He bred 10 varieties of urdbean and lentil and many are in breeding pipeline. He also has developed several registered donors in mungbean and urdbean for many important agronomic traits. He has authored more than 35 research articles, several review articles and many book chapters in the peer-reviewed journals and books from Wiley, Springer, CABI, Elsevier. He is also Fellow of Indian Society of Pulses Research and Development and many professional associations.
Dr. Shiv Kumar holds a Ph.D. in Plant Breeding with expertise in crop improvement through resistance breeding, widening the genetic base through pre-breeding, and development of genetic and genomic resources in food legumes.
During his 30 year career, he has collaborated internationally, has contributed in development of 51 lentil varieties and published numerous scientific contributions. He is a Fellow of the International Legumes Society, Indian Society of Genetics and Plant Breeding, and Indian Society of Pulses Research and Development and has received academic distinctions, fellowships including Rockefeller, and awards from national and international organizations/societies in recognition of his contribution in food legumes
Dr. Kumar leads ICARDA’s Food legumes program whose aim is to deliver improved germplasm of lentil, kabuli chickpea, faba bean and grass pea to partners in South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, West Asia, and North Africa.
