Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) germplasm has been evaluated against rust, wilt, blight and insect-pests and also for morphological and yield traits. Donors have been identified for genetic resistance to major diseases and some of these are resistant to two or three diseases. There is a need to screen a larger number of germplasm accessions against insect pests and abiotic stresses. Exotic lines may be used to transfer the bold-seed character to indigenous Indian cultivars
