Pea (Pisum sativum) stands out as one of the most significant and productive cool-season pulse crops cultivated worldwide. Dealing with biotic stresses remains a critical challenge in fully harnessing pea’s potential productivity. As such, dedicated research and developmental efforts are necessary to make use of omic resources and advanced breeding techniques. These approaches are crucial in facilitating the rapid and timely development of high-yielding varieties that can tolerate and resist multiple stresses. The availability of advanced genomic tools, such as comprehensive genetic maps and reliable DNA markers, holds immense promise for integrating resistance genes from diverse sources. This integration helps accelerate genetic gains in pea crops. This review provides an overview of recent accomplishments in the genetic and genomic resource development of peas. It also covers the inheritance of genes controlling various biotic stress responses, genes that control pathogenesis in disease-causing organisms, the mapping of genes/QTLs, as well as transcriptomic and proteomic advancements. By combining conventional and modern omics-enabled breeding strategies, genetic gains can be significantly enhanced.
