Abstract An understanding of the genetic basis of characters of commercial importance is critical if a breeder is attempting to move such characters into breeding material. A number of particularly interesting characters or genes have been identified in cool season food legumes, and in pea many of these have been “tagged” by molecular markers such as allozyme or DNA polymorphisms. This process of mapping and tagging genes has been greatly accelerated by recent developments in molecular biology. It appears that markers will soon be available for many genes in lentil, faba bean, and chickpea and that genetic knowledge developed in one crop will have significant applications in the other cool season food legumes.
