Abstract

ESPOSITO, María A. et al. Objectives and modern techniques in pea (Pisum sativum L.) breeding in Argentina: A review. RIA. Rev. investig. agropecu. [online]. 2023, vol.49, n.3, pp.119-127. ISSN 1669-2314.

Pea is considered an essential component of sustainable farming systems. The main objective of pea researchers in Argentina and worldwide is to improve yield components and composition of the seed to enhance nutritional characteristics. Breeding programs that use conventional and nonconventional techniques are a very important tool to develop new varieties that can be used more efficiently in production systems but also adapt to changing market needs.

Keywords : pea breeding; molecular markers; induced mutations; genetic engineering.
