Legume Bioengineering: Balancing Food Demand and Global Climate Change offers a comprehensive guide to enhancing legume productivity and resilience in the face of global food insecurity and climate change.
Legume Bioengineering: Balancing Food Demand and Global Climate Change offers a comprehensive guide to enhancing legume productivity and resilience in the face of global food insecurity and climate change. This book explores the impact of environmental stresses on the legume genome, transcriptome, proteome, and metabolome, and presents cutting-edge biotechnological solutions to mitigate these effects. With contributions from 15 international experts across 9 countries, it uniquely combines molecular insights with socio-economic perspectives, making it a timely resource for advancing sustainable agriculture.Key Features:· Global strategies for leveraging legumes to address hunger and food security· Socio-economic challenges and adoption of legume cultivation in developing regions· Genetic resources and breeding strategies for stress tolerance and yield improvement· Climate-resilient legume production techniques· Role of legume secondary metabolites in stress adaptation· Advances in genome editing, epigenetics, microbiome interactions, and miRNA applications· Current trends and future scope in legume engineering· Consumer acceptance, environmental impact assessment, and policy frameworksThis book is an essential resource for researchers, graduate students, agricultural scientists, biotechnologists, and policymakers engaged in crop improvement, climate resilience, and food security research. It offers practical insights and scientific innovations critical for shaping the future of legume-based sustainable agriculture.
