Leguminous crops have been found to contribute almost 27% of theworld s primary crop production. However, due toenvironmental fluctuations, legumes are often exposed to differentenvironmental stresses, leading to problems with growth anddevelopment, and ultimately, decreased yield. This timely review explains the transcriptomics, proteomics,genomics, metabolomics, transgenomics, functional genomics andphenomics of a wide range of different leguminous crops underbiotic and abiotic stresses, and their genetic and molecularresponses. Amongst others the text describes the effect of nutrientdeficiency, pesticides, salt, and temperature stress onlegumes. Importantly, the book explores the physiobiochemical, molecular andomic approaches that are used to overcome biotic and abioticconstraints in legumes. It looks at the exogenous application ofphytoprotectants; the role of nutrients in the alleviation ofabiotic stress; and the microbial strategy for the improvement oflegume production under hostile environments. Key features: demonstrates how to mitigate the negative effect of stress onleguminous crops, and how to improve the yield under stress the most up-to-date research in the field written by an international team of active researchers andpractitioners across academia, industry and non-profit organisations This volume is a valuable and much-needed resource for scientists,professionals and researchers working in plant science, breeding,food security, crop improvement and agriculture worldwide. Inuniversities it will educate postgraduate and graduate students inplant science and agriculture; it will also benefit those inscientific institutions and in biotech and agribusiness companies,who deal with agronomy and environment
