What mechanisms do you know to the yield improvement of small seeded and highly nutritive pea species that require urgent intervention currently before lost?
in most experiments it is not taken enough care on the proper mineral nutrition of the plants. Always assess the entire nutritional element composition of your plants (N,P,S,K,Ca,Mg,Cl,B,Mo,Fe,Mn,Zn,Cu) and watch for minimum factors.
Have some ideas here too..

I'm working with old wheat varieties on quality and productivity aspects for food intolerance.

Dehiscence is the splitting at maturity along a built-in line of weakness in a plant structure in order to release its contents, and is common among fruits, anthers and sporangia. Sometimes this involves the complete detachment of a part. Structures that open in this way are said to be dehiscent. Structures that do not open in this way are called indehiscent, and rely on other mechanisms such as decay or predation to release the contents.
A similar process to dehiscence occurs in some flower buds (e.g., Platycodon, Fuchsia), but this is rarely referred to as dehiscence unless circumscissile dehiscence is involved; anthesis is the usual term for the opening of flowers. Dehiscence may or may not involve the loss of a structure through the process of abscission. The lost structures are said to be caducous.
Dear Gebreslassie: The best way that I found to breed seed legumes, is to grow your cultivar in an enough area, etc. good, 2000 to 3000 squared meter. At physiologic maturity walk through the lines of your plants, then mark any plant of higher number of pods per plant. Dry off the seeds, mix them up, and keep them to grow them next season. If there some remarkable differences among plants in number of pods, do selection again, otherwise, you just got your new higher seed yield peas cv. I found that about 74% of seed yield variance was due to pods per plant, among thirteen traits Tested!
