Abstract：
In developing countries, orphan legumes stand at the forefront in the struggle against climate change. Their high nutrient value is crucial in malnutrition and chronic diseases prevention. However, as the \'orphan\' definition suggests, their seed systems are still underestimated and seed production is scanty. Seed priming is an effective, sustainable strategy to boost seed quality in orphan legumes for which up-to-date guidelines are required to guarantee reliable and reproducible results. How far are we along this path? What do we expect from seed priming? This brings to other relevant questions. What is the socio-economic relevance of orphan legumes in the Mediterranean Basin? How to potentiate a broader cultivation in specific regions? The case study of the BENEFIT-Med (Boosting technologies of orphan legumes towards resilient farming systems) project, developed by multidisciplinary research networks, envisions a roadmap for producing new knowledge and innovative technologies to improve seed productivity through priming, with the long-term objective of promoting sustainability and food security for/in the climate-sensitive regions. This review highlights the existing drawbacks that must be overcome before orphan legumes could reach the state of \'climate-ready crops\'. Only by the integration of knowledge in seed biology, technology and agronomy, the barrier existing between research bench and local agricultural fields may be overcome, generating high-impact technical innovations for orphan legumes. We intend to provide a powerful message to encourage future research in line with the United Nations Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development.
摘要：
在发展中国家,孤儿豆科植物在应对气候变化的斗争中处于最前沿。它们的高营养价值对营养不良和慢性疾病的预防至关重要。然而,正如“孤儿”定义所暗示的那样，他们的种子系统仍然被低估，种子产量很少。种子引发是一种有效的，提高孤儿豆科植物种子质量的可持续战略，需要最新的指导方针来保证可靠和可重复的结果。我们沿着这条路走了多远？我们对种子启动有什么期望？这带来了其他相关问题。ThecasestudyoftheBENEFIT-Med(Boostingtechnologiesoforphanlegomestowardrestronmentalsystems)project,由多学科研究网络开发，设想了一个生产新知识和创新技术的路线图，以通过启动提高种子生产力，长期目标是促进气候敏感地区的可持续性和粮食安全。这篇评论强调了在孤儿豆类达到“气候适宜作物”状态之前必须克服的现有缺点。只有通过种子生物学知识的整合，技术和农学，可以克服研究平台和当地农业领域之间存在的障碍，为孤儿豆类产生高影响力的技术创新。我们打算提供一个强有力的信息，鼓励未来根据联合国2030年可持续发展议程进行研究。
