Global population is projected to reach approximately 10.9 billion by 2100 hence, food
security is becoming a big challenge. Despite their numerous benefits in food, fibre, fodder,
oil, and nutrition, as well as medicinal characteristics, many crop plant species are ignored
and underutilised. These crops, on the other hand, serve a critical role in the sustenance and
economic progress of underprivileged people throughout their lives, as well as enriching
agro biodiversity. These crops are still neglected, and a lack of investment in research and
development has resulted in a loss of agricultural biodiversity while also increasing the
vulnerability of the global food supply. Yam bean [Pachyrhizus erosus (L.) Urban], is an
underutilised legume tuber crop with numerous health benefits due to its nutrients and
therapeutic characteristics. The cultivated yam bean yields a substantial root with a high
starch and sugar content. However, availability of limited genetic information in yam bean
hinders the genetic improvement of this crop.
