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 nine
countries, it uniquely combines molecular insights with socioeconomic
perspectives, making it a timely resource for advancing sustainable
agriculture. Key Features: Global strategies for leveraging legumes to
address hunger and food security Socioeconomic 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 frameworks This 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.
