豆类蔬菜是碳水化合物的重要来源,维生素,矿物,以及促进健康的生物活性化学物质。由于消费者对其均衡饮食的认识不断提高,因此使用新鲜或加工蔬菜豆类的需求不断扩大。因此,保持蔬菜豆类的最佳产量极其重要。在这里,我们试图展示未充分开发的蔬菜豆类对食物供应的前景,可访问性,改善民生利用。到目前为止,与蔬菜豆类相比,研究注意力主要集中在豆类表现上。野生和栽培的蔬菜豆类在不同的栖息地中在形态上有所不同。这可能会让他们不太为人所知,利用不足,开发不足,并使它们在营养不良仍然存在的发展中国家成为有希望的潜在营养来源。需要研究工作来促进未充分利用的蔬菜豆类,改善它们的使用,以养活未来不断增长的人口。鉴于以上各点,在这里,我们讨论了具有巨大潜力的未开发蔬菜豆类;即,蔬菜木豆(Cajanuscajan),丛生豆(四角仙茅),有翼豆(果蝇四虫),dolichosbean(Lablabpurpureus),和cow豆(Vignaunguiculata),从而涵盖了与繁殖前等各个方面有关的进展,分子标记,数量性状基因座(QTL),基因组学,和基因工程。总的来说,这篇综述总结了与蔬菜豆类育种进展有关的信息,这将最终有助于确保发展中国家的粮食和营养安全。
Vegetable legumes are an essential source of carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, along with health-promoting bioactive chemicals. The demand for the use of either fresh or processed vegetable legumes is continually expanding on account of the growing consumer awareness about their well-balanced diet. Therefore, sustaining optimum yields of vegetable legumes is extremely important. Here we seek to present d etails of prospects of underexploited vegetable legumes for food availability, accessibility, and improved livelihood utilization. So far research attention was mainly focused on pulse legumes\' performance as compared to vegetable legumes. Wild and cultivated vegetable legumes vary morphologically across diverse habitats. This could make them less known, underutilized, and underexploited, and make them a promising potential nutritional source in developing nations where malnutrition still exists. Research efforts are required to promote underexploited vegetable legumes, for improving their use to feed the ever-increasing population in the future. In view of all the above points, here we have discussed underexploited vegetable legumes with tremendous potential; namely, vegetable pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan), cluster bean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba), winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus), dolichos bean (Lablab purpureus), and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata), thereby covering the progress related to various aspects such as pre-breeding, molecular markers, quantitative trait locus (QTLs), genomics, and genetic engineering. Overall, this
review has summarized the information related to advancements in the breeding of vegetable legumes which will ultimately help in ensuring food and nutritional security in developing nations.
