The proposed article summarizes the recent progress achieved in leguminous crop breeding at the RIFC „Selectia”. The Republic of Moldova belongs to the group of countries with risky farming, where the limiting factor of plant productivity is the hydrothermical regime. Attendance in the last 15-20 years of agricultural drought has led to partial or complete compromise of the production levels demonstrating the reduced capacity of leguminous crops adaptability to stressful environmental conditions. Therefore in the breeding research programs, primary objective is directed towards creating new idiotypes with high ecological plasticity. In the laboratory of leguminous crop breeding at the RIFC „Selectia” are carrying out researches to improve such crops as peas, soy beans and dry beans. In the last 5 years in the Catalogue of Plant Varieties of the Republic of Moldova were registered two new varieties of peas (MZ-7-06 and MZ-13-12), which is highlighted by the high level of production (3900-4100 kg/ha) associated with resistant qualities to lodging and beans shaking. For soybean crop in the Catalog were included three new varieties (Deia, Magic, Moldova) with high production capacity (3000-3500 kg/ha), with different degrees of maturity and modeled arfitectonic type of plant. Latest achievements in dry bean breeding is manifested by creating and recording 2 new varieties - Garofiţa and Marita, which can accomplish grain yields of 2800-3100 kg/ha with high culinary qualities and suitable for mechanized harvesting.
