Description Genome wide association study (GWAS) is a powerful, reliable, leading and effective approach for unraveling the genetic makeup of complicated phenotypic features back to their underlying genetics. Morphological, physiological, biochemical and quality traits of pulses are severely affected by biotic and abiotic stresses significantly affecting their growth, yield and productivity. Soli salinity is most challenging factor among all abiotic stresses that significantly reduces the yield of pulses. These are a promising source for human diet due to their richness in the content of protein, micronutrients (Fe, Zn etc.), carbohydrates, fibres and antioxidants in addition to their long shelf life, suitability to marginal environments etc. It is crucial to comprehend the genetic foundation of underlying features to boost the production of pulses for world food and nutritional security. Implementing GWAS in pulses can lead to the effective discovery of countless genomic areas linked to salinity stress. It have been applied in pulses to dissect the traits related to yield, such as seed size and pod number, traits associated with resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, like disease resistance, drought and salt tolerance as well as for micronutrients like Fe, Zn etc. This review presents the overview of the application of GWAS for the pulse’s improvement programme, its strengths, weakness and applications that can facilitate the dissection of the gene networks underlying complex traits like salinity and alkalinity and improve its efficiency in a molecular breeding programme.
