Pulses are the main source of protein and minerals in the vegetarian diet. These are primarily cultivated on marginal lands with few inputs in several resource-poor countries of the world, including several in South Asia. Their cultivation in resource-scarce conditions exposes them to various abiotic and biotic stresses, leading to significant yield losses. Furthermore, climate change due to global warming has increased their vulnerability to emerging new insect pests and abiotic stresses that can become even more serious in the coming years. The changing climate scenario has made it more challenging to breed and develop climate-resilient smart pulses. Although pulses are climate smart, as they simultaneously adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change, their narrow genetic diversity has always been a major constraint to their improvement for adaptability. However, existing genetic diversity still provides opportunities to exploit novel attributes for developing climate-resilient cultivars. The mining and exploitation of adaptive traits imparting tolerance/resistance to climate-smart pulses can be accelerated further by using cutting-edge approaches of biotechnology such as transgenics, genome editing, and epigenetics. This review discusses various classical and molecular approaches and strategies to exploit adaptive traits for breeding climate-smart pulses.

Legumes are the second-largest source of food after cereals, all over the world, and an essential protein source in the vegetarian diet. These crops remain essential to subsistence production as they have the inherent capacity to survive in an adverse ecosystem and require minimum investment for their management. The increasing challenge of feeding a rapidly growing population places excessive pressure on current food production systems, which can no longer be sustained by traditional plant breeding alone. Therefore, modern breeding methods with increased genetic gains are required to meet the food demand of the increasing population. In the past few decades, the efficiency of legume crop breeding programs has increased considerably using novel and multidisciplinary approaches in breeding programs. A multidisciplinary approach combining conventional plant breeding, mutation breeding, plant biotechnology, and molecular breeding is strategically ideal for production of new and improved crop varieties. This chapter focuses on recent advancements in plant biotechnology, related molecular methods, phenomics, and their application in breeding of legume crops.
