Vicia faba (L.), commonly known as faba or fava bean is one of the oldest legume crops in the world, cultivated in 66 countries worldwide. Faba bean is a multifunctional crop used as food for humans, fodder for livestock, and to enhance soil fertility and health. Faba beans are climate resilient pulse crops that are rich in protein, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals, dietary fibre, levodopa, flavonoids, polyphenols. Despite being a nutritionally rich crop, faba beans have received little attention from scientists towards its genetic advancements unlike other legumes such as chickpeas,...

As per the reports of FAO, the human population will rise to 9 billion by the end of 2050 and 70% of more food must be produced over the next three decades to feed the additional population. The breeding approaches for crop improvement programs are dependent on the availability and accessibility of genetic variation, either spontaneous or induced by the mutagens. Plant breeders, agronomists, and geneticists are under constant pressure to expand food production by employing innovative breeding strategies to enhance yield, adaptability, nutrition, resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses.
