**5. Conclusion**

In the present era, hyacinth bean has been recognised as an omnipotent legume crop which has the ability to conquer malnutrition, food/hunger index and several chronic diseases all around the globe. Being rich source of genetic and genome resources, the information's reviewed here can significantly contributes towards unravelling its structural, biochemical and molecular genomics which can lead to the identification of signalling pathways involve in the biosynthesis of important therapeutic metabolites/compounds. Furthermore, the implementation of multi "OMICS" techniques are the need of the hour which can transform hyacinth bean and other underutilised legume crops from being "orphan" to "model crop" by exploiting them in the breeding programs. These underutilised legumes hold the potential for developing sustainable agriculture which can lead to hunger and disease-free world in the era of global warming/pandemic. Therefore, synergistic use of multi OMICS tools are of ultimate requirement for expanding the current horizons of underutilised legume crops to address important problems relevant to Nations be it on health, nutrition and environment.
