While the specific cultivar ‘PLS 534’ doesn’t directly point to a specific origin (cultivars are often developed and bred in different locations), the species *Pisum sativum* (Garden Pea) is believed to have originated in the **Near East/Mediterranean region**, specifically the Fertile Crescent.
Therefore, the *ancestral origin* of any Garden Pea, including ‘PLS 534’, is ultimately that general area:
* **Likely Region:** Near East/Mediterranean (Fertile Crescent)
However, keep in mind:
* ‘PLS 534’ is a cultivated variety, meaning it was *bred* and *developed* by humans, potentially in a different location than the plant’s original wild ancestor.
* Without more information on where ‘PLS 534’ was specifically bred or is most commonly grown, it’s hard to be more precise than the general origin of the species.
So, while the origin of all garden peas is the Near East, where ‘PLS 534’ was developed and is commonly grown will determine its more recent geographical ties.
