Review: A brief history of grasspea and its use in crop improvement

Introduction Grasspea (Lathyrus sativus L.) is an annual pulse crop belonging to the family Fabaceae (4) and the tribe Vicieae. Grasspea is known by a wide range of common names, include chickling vetch, Indian vetch (UK and USA), khesari or Batura (India) and dhal . Along with Pisum, Lens and Vicia, this genus may be a source of new and useful genetic traits for closely related genera for future plant breeding work improving commercially valuable species.
