TL;DR: Prospects, as well as some success stories of TGA, in addition to advances in genomics, trait mapping and gene expression analysis are discussed for five leading legume crops, chickpea (Cicer arietinum), common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), groundnut (Arachis hypogaea), pigeonpea and soybean (Glycine max).

TL;DR: A global-level hierarchical sampling scheme is used to comprehensively characterize the evolutionary relationships and distributional limitations of the nitrogen-fixing bacterial symbionts of the crop chickpea, finding that diverse Mesorhizobium taxa perform symbiosis with chickPEa and have largely overlapping global distributions.
