Abstrakt: Genetic improvement of legumes is a major on-going challenge for plant breeders. Outlined in this review are the main reasons why such increased extra-specific genetic variation is required, particularly in the developing world. With the development of new methods of plant genetic manipulation it is necessary to assess the relative merits of all approaches now available. To help the plant breeder in this respect we have in this review comprehensively described these conventional and unconventional procedures with particular reference to economically important legumes.
