Riassunto

Pulses are the main source of protein and minerals in the vegetarian diet. They are cultivated worldwide as major and/or minor crops to provide the nutrition and livelihood for millions of people. Pulses are a rich source of protein (22–26%) and micronutrients (especially Fe and Zn), serve as a balanced food for vegetarians when complemented with cereals. Also, their cultivation has helped to sustain cereal-based cropping systems through biological nitrogen fixation and carbon sequestration. Oilseed crops are the basis for biological systems that provides not only edible oils, but also contribute to renewable energy production, help to stabilize greenhouse gases, and mitigate the risk of climate change. Since these are primarily cultivated on marginal lands with few inputs in several resource-poor countries of the world, including several in South Asia, they are exposed to various abiotic stresses, leading to significant yield reduction.
