Pea breeding

Pea crop, Pisum sativum,is one of the most important seed legumes, as such, the crop constitutes an important source of protein for human consumption. USA production is about 580,000 tons per year of green peas for processing by canning and freezing. Peas belongs to the family Papilionaceae, it is a...
