Grain legumes such as chickpea, pigeonpea, cowpea, fieldpea, lentil, fababean, blackgram, greengram, grasspea, and Phaseolus beans play an important role in food and nutritional security, and sustainable crop production. Several insect pests damage these crops, of which gram pod borer, Helicoverpa armigera; spotted pod borer, Maruca vitrata; spiny pod borer, Etiella zinckenella; pod fly, Melanagromyza obtusa: stem fly, Ophiomyia phaseoli; aphids, Aphis craccivora and Aphis fabae; white fly, Bemisia tabaci; defoliators, Spodoptera litura, S. exigua, and Amsacta spp.; leafhoppers, Empoasca spp., thrips, Megaleurothrips dorsalis, and Caliothrips indicus; blister beetles, Mylabris spp.: and the bruchids, Collasobruchus chinensis and Bruchus pisorum cause extensive losses. Several sources of resistance to insects have been identified in grain legumes, and several morphological and biochemical traits associated with resistance to insects have also been identified. A good beginning has been made in developing genetic linkage maps of some of the grain legumes. However, the accuracy and precision of phenotyping for resistance to insect pests remains a critical constraint in many crops. There are very few reports concerning the application of molecular markers for resistance to insect pests in grain legumes. There is a need for precise phenotyping, mapping of the QTLs associated with insect resistance, and use them in conjunction with morphological and biochemical markers to develop cultivars with resistance to insect pests.
