Lentil: Genetic and Cross Breeding for Increased Yield describes the evolutionary aspects and agronomic potential of this important pulse with major emphasis placed on wide hybridization including molecular aspects and future lentil breeding strategies. The existing variability among cultivated germplasm has been exploited to reach to a desirable level of productivity. However, to attain further breakthroughs in increasing yield and improving stability in future cultivars, new sources of genes/alleles needs to be identify and incorporate them into the background of cultivated varieties. This book provides specific use information including wild lentil germplasm utilization allowing selection of transgressive interspecific recombinants adapted to specific environments to be effectively and efficiently identified and explored.
