Pulses are high-nutrient foods that are good sources of protein and nutrients such as phosphorus, zinc, selenium, iron, fiber, complex carbohydrates, protein, and folates. Identification of appropriate genes responsible for a specific plant trait has always been a challenging task for plant breeders. However, genome-wide association study (GWAS) has been successfully implemented in pluses for the identification of marker trait associations (MTAs), quantitative trait loci (QTL), and marker-assisted selection (MAS) for drought-related traits. Though improvement has been achieved in genomic technology using computational and statistical approaches, the challenges lie in the detection of noble variants having minimal adverse effects. This chapter sheds light on recent trends and future prospects of GWAS for the identification and mitigation of drought stress tolerance in pulses. Further we have highlighted the various drought-related traits that have been identified and improved in pluses using GWAS.
