Abstract
Research on grasspea (Lathyrus sativus) improvement has increased since the development of lines that are very low in the neurotoxin β-N-oxalyl-L-α-β-diamino propionic acid (ODAP); also referred to as β-N oxalylamino-L-alanine (BOAA). Many programmes now address several related aspects of improvement simultaneously. These include reduced ODAP concentrations, insect and disease resistance, nitrogen fixation, agronomic practices, fodder and forage production, and components for increased yielding ability. The coordinated, multidisciplinary approach now being applied to the genetic improvement of grasspea should allow the potential of this largely neglected grain legume to be fully realized
