A number of consequences of climate change, notably salinity, put global food security at risk by impacting the development and production of lentils. Salinity-induced stress alters lentil genetics, resulting in severe developmental issues and eventual phenotypic damage. Lentils have evolved sophisticated signaling networks to combat salinity stress. Lentil genomics and transcriptomics have discovered key genes and pathways that play an important role in mitigating salinity stress. The development of saline-smart cultivars can be further revolutionized by implementing proteomics, metabolomics, miRNAomics, epigenomics, phenomics, ionomics, machine learning, and speed breeding approaches. All these cutting-edge approaches represent a viable path toward creating saline-tolerant lentil cultivars that can withstand climate change and meet the growing demand for high-quality food worldwide. The review emphasizes the gaps that must be filled for future food security in a changing climate while also highlighting the significant discoveries and insights made possible by omics and other state-of-the-art biotechnological techniques.
气候变化的诸多后果，特别是盐度，通过影响小扁豆的发育和生产，使全球粮食安全面临风险。盐度诱导的胁迫改变了小扁豆的遗传特性，导致严重的发育问题和最终的表型损伤。小扁豆已经进化出复杂的信号网络来抵御盐度胁迫。小扁豆的基因组学和转录组学已经发现了在减轻盐度胁迫中起重要作用的关键基因和途径。通过实施蛋白质组学、代谢组学、miRNA 组学、表观基因组学、表型组学、离子组学、机器学习和加速育种方法，可以进一步推动耐盐性品种的发展。所有这些前沿方法代表了创造能够耐受气候变化和满足全球对高质量食品日益增长需求的耐盐小扁豆品种的可行途径。该综述强调了在气候变化下未来粮食安全必须填补的空白，同时突出了组学和其他最先进的生物技术技术所带来的重大发现和见解。
