Cultivar Development of Pulses Crop

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue focuses on "Cultivar Development of Pulses Crop". With the development of pulses crop and the realization of their important roles in providing plant protein, disaster relief, and diet adjustments, the planting area and market demands of these crops are now increasing. Notably, the United Nations declared 2016 as the International Year of Pulses to highlight the potential of pulses for improving nutrition cheaply and sustainably and to encourage their use in food and agriculture. As I understand, most of you have achieved great progress on pulses breeding and provided support towards the stable production of them. To accelerate the communications on breeding aims and methods, enhance the development of cultivars, and help breeders to draw the experiences from each other, we organize this Special Issue and ask for articles on new cultivars and critical reviews on breeding. We feel confident that the contribution of many authors working on cultivar development of various crops will allow us to achieve the above aims. We hope to work with all of you on this exciting project.

Dr. Lixia Wang
