  "abstract": "Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) is an important grain legume known for its nutritional quality, agronomic value, and role in sustainable agriculture. However, its genetic diversity is limited due to domestication, constraining efforts to breed stress-resilient cultivars, especially under climate change. Crop wild relatives (CWRs) represent a valuable source of untapped genetic variability, harboring adaptive traits shaped under extreme environments. This review emphasizes the potential of CWRs in lentil breeding for abiotic stress tolerance, particularly drought and heat stress. It explores key abiotic stresses impacting lentil productivity, discusses mechanisms of stress tolerance available in wild lentil species, and highlights the necessity to integrate these traits into modern breeding programs. Utilizing the genetic diversity in CWRs can overcome current breeding limitations, improve lentil resilience, and secure sustainable production amid growing environmental challenges.",
