How will Mapping PULSE GENOMES Help Feed a Global Need?
Pulses are the edible seeds of plants in the legume family, such as peas, beans, chickpeas and lentils. Scientists are sequencing the genomes of several pulse crops to help meet the changing needs and challenges of feeding the world. Just like the human genome was mapped, mapping crop genomes allows scientists to know how they work.
People around the world need science to innovate and improve. With a growing population, climate change, and people’s taste for delicious pulses, understanding more about this healthy sustainable crop is important..
Want to learn more about how pulses benefit people, farmers, and the world? Explore our infographic on pulses.org to learn more about this process, and the importance of pulses as a global food.
