Description Garden pea (Pisum sativum L.) also called green or common pea is an important vegetable crop of the temperate and sub-tropical areas of the world, belong to family, Leguminosae (Fabaceae). It is a native of Europe and West Asia, while its wild prototypes came from Ethiopia (deCondolle, 1886). In the history of genetics and plant breeding pea has a unique place since it served Gregor Johann Mendel during the course of his historic experiments and now pea is among the best genetically explored crops. Pea is not only the major contributory to the much needed proteins (15.5 – 39.5 %) but also have superior quality proteins compared to all other vegetables, except soybeans, due to its higher lysine content, the limiting amino-acid in cereals (Monti, 1983). It is consumed as fresh, canned or in dehydrated forms and is a leading vegetable as frozen food (Talbert, 1953). It ranks next to tomato among processed vegetables (Bhargava, 1989).
